What Makes the TapRooT® Summit So Beneficial?
How Does the TapRooT® Summit Work?
To understand why five days at the TapRooT® Summit can be so beneficial to your company and to your career, you need to first understand how the TapRooT® Summit works.
The Summit is five days long. It starts on Monday-Tuesday with optional 2-Day pre-Summit courses focused on performance improvement. (More about these courses below.) Next, the Summit runs from Wednesday through Friday at noon.
The Summit only $1,295. A 2-Day Course only is $1,795. If you attend both the course and the Summit, teh combine fee is $2,790 (you save $300).
See the information below for course and Summit details.
Pre-Summit Courses (Monday-Tuesday, April 5-6)
The Summit starts on Monday and Tuesday with two days of optional courses. These courses include our standard public 2-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course and six special courses offered only prior to the Summit. The courses include:
- Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting and TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Training
- 2-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis
- Analyzing & Fixing Safety Culture
- Advanced Presentation Skills
- TapRooT® Software & AI
- Effective Interviewing & Evidence Collection
- Learning Teams & Root Cause Analysis for Proactive Improvement
Certified TapRooT® Instructors are required to pick one of these courses to maintain their certification. For others, the courses are an option, but an excellent opportunity to get advanced training that isn’t otherwise available.
Also, when someone registers for both the pre-Summit and the Summit, they receive a $300 discount on the course price ($1295-$300 = $995.00). Receive even more discounts when three or more people register at the same time.
One more thing … When you register early, you qualify for a chance to get an earlybird prize.
The Summit (Wednesday-Friday, April 7-9)
The Summit includes four main events…
- Five Keynote Speakers
- Seven Best Practice Tracks with nine sessions in each track
- Networking events

Let’s learn a little bit of each of these and how they make the Summit beneficial.

This year, on Wednesday, we start with the story of a major investigation by Darrin Wertz, a TapRooT® User.

Best Practice Tracks
This year, there are six Best Practice Tracks. They focus on:

- Human Performance
- Equipment Reliability and Maintenance
- Continuous Improvement to Achieve High Reliability
- Psychology of Excellent Performance
The tracks have nine sessions. When you register, you can pick all the sessions in a track or mix and match the sessions of your choice from any of the tracks. That lets you customize the Summit to help you solve your company’s biggest challenges.

You learn more when you are having fun. That’s why in over 30 years of holding the Summit, we have learned to build in FUN.
