GLOBAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT FORUM
The Global Project Management Forum is committed to advancing the globalization of the project management profession by promoting communications and cooperation between and among project management organizations and professionals around the world.
The Global Project Management Forum was initiated by six PMI members who responded to a proposal by David Pells at PMI 94 in Vancouver, Canada. Under PMI’s positive support and the founders’ elaborate planning, the first Global Project Management Forum was successfully launched during PMI 95 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA with 300 delegates representing 40 countries. To date, 15 GPMF congresses have been held in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
OBJECTIVES
- To provide leaders of the project management profession around the world with the opportunity to meet personally, face-to-face, to share and discuss ideas, issues and information on common global interest.
- To provide educational opportunities for participants to learn about issues, status of the profession and perspectives from colleagues from other parts of the world.
- To advance the project management profession in more geographic areas, industries, government and organizations, on a regional and global basis.
- To improve understanding of different needs of the project management profession and professionals globally
