Benefit must be evaluated in the framework of each personal reality. Be member of the PMI helps me a lot to learn and improve myself. For example, I am not member of my local chapter because it adds no value for me.

Sergio, Thanks for your feedback, looks like I agree with you I have paid for the chapter but can't join any activities even I have to pay extra for each due to timing and I am away 5 hours driving from the chapter but the PMI membership is really worthy.

There are also the intangibles; such as feeling part of a community effort, and as such with this site, making it feel small.

PMI Membership allows you to be a part of the network, discuss and debate current issues, availability of guides and references, conference updates, local chapter information, etc.

Yes, colleagues mentioned the most of benefits, however re-mention the updating project management knowledge is very important.

Project management used to be updated from time to time ( you see the Agile practice guide comes with PMBOK 6th Ed. (PMI decided to cooperate with Agile Alliance after 20 years) as an example only.
