The Second Annual Sacramento ASTD Trainer Throw-down!

If you didn’t attend last year, then ask someone who did.

It was tons of fun and we saw some amazing trainer presentations…

This year we have some new and special twists…

Only Four trainer/coaches/developers/participants… who compete for a prizes and glory!

Top prize is $150! and everyone wins something.

And a special guest (and award winning) announcer/facilitator. Watch for details.

Each contestant has 12 minutes to show us their best stuff from his or her professional bag of tricks.

It could be a killer icebreaker, a way to engage the audience, a coaching technique, or anything else that will WOW the audience.

Contestants will be judged by the audience (by ballot) on originality, entertainment, learning value, and engagement.
