According to the paper abstract: This presentation will tell the PMForum story - where it came from, how it is evolving and what the future holds. Paralleling the growth and globalization of the project management profession itself, the PMForum story includes expanding professional relationships and networks, creation and exchanges of ideas, recognition and sharing of intelligence, and monitoring of trends and developments. PMForum bridges the professional worlds of AIPM, APM, IPMA, PMAJ, PMI, SOVNET and other professional bodies, providing a global perspective on the state of the project management profession, current trends and the likely future. PMForum's mission remains "connecting the world of project management". This presentation will tell the story and reveal how that is possible.

The organization's monthly PM World Today eJournal, frequently containing around100 articles and stories about projects and project management around the world, is now the largest and most international online publication serving the global project management community. By establishing and maintaining close and friendly ties to all of the world's major PM professional organizations, PMForum has also maintained an independent position, emerging as a leading news outlet, publisher, think tank and information resource.
