The IT and Telecom Gantthead Interest Group targets highly knowledgeable and experienced project management and technology professionals in the Information Technology and Telecommunications industries. Our members are leaders of technically advanced projects that involve both Information Technology and Telecommunications. The group operates in partnership with the PMI IT&Telecom SIG, leveraging the power of both member bases.
