Forthcoming project management events and links
The content on this page will most likely grow over time as we become more aware of useful PM association links and forthcoming conferences. This is at least a start!
Conferences in 2008
The Project Management Institute (PMI) research conference is held every two years (even years) in 2004 it was held in London, in 2006 in Montreal and in 2008 it will be held in Warsaw Poland. The date for paper submissions closed on 1 November 2007 but to attend this conference 13-16 July 2008 visit the web site URL http://congresses.pmi.org/ResearchConf2006/NextYearsConference.cfm
Readers may be interested in PMI regional congresses and events they can access this through the PMI web site (www.pmi.org/Pages/Calendar.aspx) the PMI regional conferences are global so that, for example, in 2007 there was one in San Paulo, Brazil, Cancun Mexico, Wellington, New Zealand. The calendar web link, however, provides details only month-by-month so it can be somewhat time consuming to find out what is on where, at what time.
The International Research Network on Organizing by Projects holds its research conferences on odd years and the next one will be held in Berlin, Germany in 2009. This organisation would be of great interest to PM researchers and their web site is www.irnop.org/. That site also links well to other research organisations and forthcoming conferences of interest to PM academics and practitioners. Their web site lists the links to these conferences with dates for abstracts, submissions, etc.
Some of the conferences listed include:
- •
Making Projects Critical in Stockholm 31 March-1 April 2008, see www.eiasm.org/frontoffice/event_announcement.asp?event_id=544
- •
European Academy of Management – 14-17 May 2008 in Ljubljana and Bled in Slovenia, www.euram2008.org/
- •
The European Group for Organizational Studies 10-12 July 2008 Vrije University Amsterdam, The Netherlands, www.egosnet.org/conferences/collo24/sub_44.shtml
The International Project Management Association is the world's oldest project management organisation. It is an international network of national project management societies and their web link is www.ipma.ch/Pages/IPMA.aspx. The advantage of keeping abreast with this web site is that it links to a range of PM associations and (their URL link is www.ipma.ch/membership/Pages/default.aspx) so link through them to find out more about their conferences and events.
One example of the associated group is the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) that has an annual conference and also jointly offers one with the PMI Australian chapters. The AIPM web link is www.aipm.com.au/html/default.cfm
