INNOVATION is defined as the act or process of inventing or introducing newer and better solutions.
An INNOVATIVE mindset can help build your career by enhancing your project management and leadership skills, helping you tackle obstacles, and differentiating your proven track record.
The PMINJ Symposium Team’s goal is to take our event from GOOD to GREAT! We will present a Sunday Seminar on April 30, 2017, and our yearly Symposium on Monday May 1, 2017, at The Pines Manor in Edison, NJ.
As always, PMINJ is dedicated to improving your core competencies based on the PMI Talent Triangle’s ideal skill set for project managers: Strategy & Business Management, Leadership, and Technical Project Management..
This year our speaker presentations will target seasoned project managers working across the IT, Pharmaceutical, Financial, Construction, and Government industries. Three (3) keynote speakers and three (3) track speakers will seek to inspire and motivate you and your project teams to be INNOVATIVE and find new and better solutions for your business.
David Barrett will be presenting our Sunday seminar (afternoon workshop), “From a Good Project Manager to a Great Leader” and our Monday morning keynote, "The Keys to Our Success - Lessons Learned from 25 of our Best Project Managers".

We have expanded the two (2) breaks to 60 minutes that will allow you more time to network with the new faces you meet. Also in the vendor room, you will be able to visit with the SPONSORS. The sponsors will have an opportunity for short presentations in the vendor room. In addition, the PMINJ chapter teams and our associated Local Communities of Interest (LCI’s) will identify how you can get involved and benefit from the association. You may even win a prize in one our sponsored raffles so don’t forget your business cards!
Our community outreach continues with the “PMINJ Cares” food drive. We thank you for your past support and will again be accepting food as well as cash donations at the event.
