What Makes The TapRooT® Summit So Valuable

Each year we consult with and teach root cause analysis to the world’s leading companies. This interaction makes us premier “knowledge brokers.” Instead of keeping all the best practices we learn to ourselves, we share them once a year at the TapRooT® Summit.

This sharing started out as a simple three day meeting of our best TapRooT® users. Over 15 years, it has grown to an international event with world-renowned speakers and multiple tracks designed to share best practices within and across industries and professions.

Pre-Summit Courses

To enhance your knowledge even more, before the Summit there are optional two-day courses to pick from!

And participants can get CEU credits for both the Summit and the Pre-Summit Courses!

Save $200 when you register for a Pre-Summit Course and the Summit. Here are the 11 Pre-Summit Courses handpicked by Mark Paradies that will be held two days prior to the Summit:

  • The TapRooT® Summit continues to be the best gathering I’ve ever attended.
  • The speakers were absolutely wonderful – every one of them!

  • The keynote speakers were way beyond my expectations. Networking opportunities were excellent.
  • Overall, enjoyed the diversity of speakers and sessions. Dr. Beverly Chiodo’s speech on character and its importance was a highlight. [Dr. Chiodo will be a keynote speaker in 2012.]
