Leading Project Management practitioners from across the Asia Pacific region will gather in Singapore in October to share and explore approaches in a region made up of many diverse cultures and economies.
The Project Management Asia Conference (PMAsia) will be held at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore from 14 – 17 October 2008. It will feature an interactive program of both local and international speakers, tailored to the unique and varied conditions of Pacific Asia.
The conference is a PMGlobal event, lead by the Conference Chairman, Andrew Leicester. ‘PMAsia aims to offer a long term commitment to the advancement of the project management profession and industry in the Asia Pacific region,’ said Andrew.
‘The conference will provide a forum for education, knowledge transfer and the development of new skills and professional development of all sectors within the industry,’ he said.
Several high profile keynote speakers will set the tone of the conference, including Gerard Bagnara from KBR in Singapore. Gerard assisted on the F1 in Singapore and will discuss his experiences on this recent, multifaceted project.
Keith Pickavance, Senior Vice President of Hill International will also present his approaches to Project Management. Keith has over 40 years of experience in construction management, project planning, risk management, delay and disruption analysis throughout the world.
The conference is supported by a number of major industry bodies in the Asia Pacific region. Mr Seah Choo Meng, the President of the Society of Project Managers is enthusiastic about what the conference will offer the region.
‘We believe the PM Asia conference program planned for 2008 will contribute significantly to the practice, science and professionalism of Project Management in Asia and we encourage active participation,’ said Mr Meng.
The event is also supported by the Chartered Institute of Building. ‘We believe the conference program planned for 2008 will provide a valuable opportunity for those in the built environment,’ said Fabio Casula, Head of International CIOB.
The conference will focus on the theme ‘Succeeding in Diversity’. This theme will address how to adapt project, program and portfolio management practices developed in Europe and the USA to function effectively in this complex, dynamic and exciting region. It will focus on three key streams including successful construction, mining and engineering projects, successful business and ICT projects and successful organisations.
