Overall Mission
Our mission for the VISION 2020 conference is to provide a venue with presentations and discourse on best practices, trends, new ideas, and opportunities to improve the implementation of training systems based on the SAT method with VISION.
Purpose
This conference is for VISION users, training supervisors and managers that are responsible to develop training programs in accordance with a standard we all have in common (SAT). Its purpose is to provide a means for you to compare your organization’s approach, challenges, and status with others, share ideas and best practices, and create relationships that will help your organization move forward as a community of professionals.
This may be one of the biggest gatherings comprised specifically of trainers, training specialists and their supervisors in those industries that apply SAT and VISION. Our job together as a conference body is to maximize the potential benefits of this important occasion.
Come prepared to learn, share, and enjoy our wonderful ocean front venue!
