ISPI stands for International Society for Performance Improvement. But our chapter is really about managers, trainers, instructional designers, coaches, and professionals like you who want to continue to grow in their field, to get new job opportunities, to network with other key folks, and to just plain have fun in the process.

Each year, we host four get-togethers that are free for our Members, as well as other educational meetings. Our meetings are usually on a Saturday (avoiding LA weekday traffic) and include two world-class presentations along with breakfast, coffee, lunch, and more fun.
