Reported by Miles Shepherd in the UKThe
Association for Project Management (APM) has announced that the APM
2009 Project Management Conference -
Delivering Projects Professionally - will be held on Wednesday, 21st October 2009 at The Brewery in
London. The conference will be an interactive forum to provide
participants with an insight into the development of effective project
professionals.
The
event will address issues including project sponsorship, training and
development, growing the skill-set of project professionals and the
benefits of Chartered status. An invitation for speakers and
presentations has been issued around these topics
(
www.apm.org.uk/invitation.asp ).
In the words of APM President
Dr Martin Barnes, "projects are about people getting things done and
never has this been more critical than today". As the world faces
environmental and economic challenges, change and innovation,
consolidation and growth this statement becomes ever more relevant.
APM
is also addressing the need for professionalism in project management
through its programme to achieve Chartered status. Given the emerging
needs of the profession, how can you ensure that you will continue to
get things done and deliver real benefits? These are questions to be
discussed in October at The Brewery conference centre in London.
