Reported live from the IPMA World Congress in Rome
Leaders from various Member Associations (MA) of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) met for a workshop on Sunday, 9 November, immediately preceding the IPMA 22nd World Congress on Project Management in Rome, Italy. IPMA consists of 48 member associations from around the world; presidents, vice presidents and representatives of the MAs who were in Rome had an opportunity to meet in this workshop on Sunday.
The workshop for IPMA member associations was facilitated by Mr. Morten Fangel, former IPMA chair (who is also a Global Advisor for PMForum and PM World Today) from Denmark. According to Morten after the workshop, “we had around 50 IPMA leaders in the workshop, which was very good. We shared experiences, lessons learned and success secrets. This is an important opportunity for IPMA leaders to come together, especially those from new and younger associations.”

This IPMA workshop was designed to inspire member association board members and officers, and to provide them with ideas and tools for improving services to members. In addition to sharing experiences, such topics as strategic planning, marketing, web services, and event management are discussed at length. The use of personal networks has also become a key topic for MA leaders within IPMA.
