The Global Summit was an incredible experience, a whirlwind of learning, networking, and inspiration. Beyond the keynotes and presentations, it was the human connections that truly made the event unforgettable.
As a volunteer on the Professional Awards Insight Team, one of the most rewarding aspects was meeting the winners of the Project of the Year and Rising Leader awards. Having followed their journeys from application to presentation, it was incredibly fulfilling to finally celebrate their achievements face-to-face. The genuine joy and pride in their eyes were infectious and a powerful reminder of the impact project management has on individuals and the world.
Global Summit provided countless opportunities to engage with fellow practitioners from all walks of life. Sharing experiences and insights with those just starting their project management journey was particularly gratifying. It underscored the importance of mentorship and community support in nurturing the next generation of project leaders.
And then there was the unexpected reunion with Linda, a dear friend I hadn't seen in two decades! The emotions were overwhelming, a testament to the enduring bonds forged through our shared passion for project management. This chance encounter highlighted the power of the PMI community to connect individuals across time and distance.
These personal interactions, the shared laughter, the exchanged knowledge, and the rekindled friendships, were the true highlights of the Global Summit. They painted a vibrant picture of a passionate and supportive community dedicated to advancing the art and science of project management.
If you're looking to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from seasoned professionals, and be inspired to make a difference, I highly encourage you to engage with PMI on a deeper level. Attend a local chapter meeting, participate in online forums, or volunteer your time and expertise. You won't be disappointed. The PMI community is a treasure trove of knowledge, support, and camaraderie, waiting to welcome you with open arms.
