Wednesday, April 15, is the last day to take advantage of early-bird registration! Last year sold out – so don’t miss out by waiting to get your ticket. Click here to register.
Why attend? It’s a great opportunity to learn from and network with other project managers and to get a big-picture view of the many ways project management has evolved in recent years, learn from case studies, and find out how to leverage project knowledge and knowledge services to get things done in the modern complex project environment. Plus, those attending this year’s symposium can qualify to earn up to 15 professional development units (PDUs) toward maintaining a PMI credential!
This year’s Project Management Symposium will feature a line-up of world-class project management professionals, such as Dr. Harold Kernzer of the International Institute of Learning and Dr. Ed Hoffman, NASA Chief Knowledge Officer. There will be nearly 60 session speakers and five highly esteemed keynotes, including Jocelyn Davis, President and CEO of Nelson Hart, Chip Hastie; Vice President of Clark Construction Group, LLC; and Karen Richey, Assistant Director for the Applied Research and Methods Team at the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
“We are thrilled to welcome some of the brightest minds in project management for the capital region’s second annual symposium,” said John H. Cable, Director of the Project Management Center for Excellence. “More than 250 project management professionals joined us last year, and we anticipate that number will grow thanks, in part, to this year’s line-up and growing interest in the field of project management in the Baltimore-Washington area.”
