Call for Papers - AIPM National Conference - October in Canberra
The Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) has issued a call for papers for the AIPM 2008 National Conference. This year’s event, Keeping the promise through people, projects and performance”, will be held at Canberra’s new National Convention Centre (pictured) in Canberra, ACT, Australia, from Sunday 12 October to Wednesday 15 October 2008.
Project managers and PM practitioners around the world are invited to submit abstracts for paper presentations in Canberra on the following subjects/tracks:
PEOPLE
PROJECTS
PERFORMANCE
PROMISE
According to Dr Steve Milner, chair of the conference’s technical program committee and co-founder of specialist project management company Biologystics, there are two types of papers accepted for presentation at the AIPM conference. The first type is the non-refereed paper which provides an opportunity for a wide range of conference presentations. The second type is the refereed paper which is reviewed by a panel and is generally based on the outcomes of completed research.
“The refereed section of the conference provides an excellent opportunity for researchers and students to showcase their work,” he said
Abstracts should outline the purpose, methods, results and conclusions of the paper and the author must provide an indication of the stream in which they anticipate their paper will be accepted.
“We are looking for abstracts that will capture the attention of the project management community, invigorate debate and pass on experiential learnings,” said Dr Milner.
The abstract submissions deadline is 2 May 2008, with full paper submissions due by 20 June 2008. Abstracts of up to 250 words must be submitted via www.aipm2008.com.au.
The AIPM 2008 National Conference also offers sponsors a fantastic opportunity to connect with Australia’s project management community and vertical industry leaders.
