About the TWI Summit
The TWI Summit is a long-standing event, dating back to 2007, and gathers HR, Training, and Improvement Professionals who are exploring the role TWI Job Instruction, Job Relations, Job Methods, and Problem Solving has on a modern enterprise.
We're going virtual...
And we're excited about it!
Just because we can’t meet face-to-face in 2021 doesn’t mean we can’t “gather” and “share.” So please do that! Join your peers for a lively online learning and networking exchange. Join us for the 2021 TWI Summit, a Virtual “Pajama Pants” Summit.
It's been that kind of year!
SPEAKING AT THE Virtual TWI Summit
