ICSPI Conference April 3rd-7th International Conference on Software Process Improvement "Down-to-Earth" Software Process Improvement Improving software process has become a crucial first step for companies to survive the challenges of delivering reliable software systems that meet customer expectations. Many companies have invested millions of dollars on software process improvement (SPI) efforts but have not achieved the results they had hoped for.

This year's program offers 54 experienced-based presentations in addition to Keynotes by Tom Gold, Kevin Weiss and Surya Kant.

International Conference on Software Process Improvement Process improvement is not necessarily about CMM or CMMI, Six Sigma or ISO. Process improvement is about whatever can give high return in profitability and customer satisfaction with the resources your organization can afford. It is about whatever formal or informal methods that can best fit within your organization's culture. This is how the ICSPI conference approaches software process improvement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICSPI - 2006 Conference overview: □ 54 Feature and Track Presentations □ 3 Keynote Addresses □ 18 Full Day Tutorials □ CSTP and CTM Elective Classes □ Over 240 Hours of Education for the Week □ 40+ Subject Matter Experts On-Hand □ And Much More DATE: April 3-7, 2006 DAILY TIME: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. LOCATION: Holiday Inn Hotel & Resort on Int'l Drive MORE: www.icspi.com Register Now - http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=h7hbnsbab.0.lipo9rbab.yfbla7n6.4710&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icspi.com%2Ficspi_registration_information.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---------------------------------------- Register by February 15th and your hotel room is on us!
