Professional event supports growing number of project management practitioners in the region
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Project Management Institute (PMI) Global Congress 2009-Asia Pacific will take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on 9-11 February. In addition to being a premiere venue for project management education and networking, Global Congress is a meeting point for experts and professionals at all levels to discuss trends in project, program and portfolio management.
As a discipline, project management helps organizations identify which projects are the most strategically important, and provides a framework to execute those projects on-time and on-budget. Organizations around Asia Pacific are investing in large projects, such as the Kimanis-Bintulu pipeline in Malaysia, and need qualified project managers to execute these projects quickly and efficiently during this time of global financial uncertainty. PMI membership in the Asia Pacific region has grown by 11 percent in the past year and in Malaysia specifically by nearly 25 percent.
More than 40 educational sessions and three nights of networking events will give Global Congress attendees the chance to learn and refine the skills needed to guide their projects to success. The breadth of topics will suit a variety of career development paths and interests in project, program and portfolio management.
Registration for PMI Global Congress 2009-Asia Pacific is now open. The deadline for advance registration is 23 January, after which on-site fees will apply. To register online and for more information, visit http://congresses.pmi.org/AsiaPacific2009/ .
