November 15, 2017 Seminar
Society of PM Professionals
of Greater Vancouver
Registration Closed
Program for the Day
The Theme:
Project management in its very nature is multidisciplinary and inclusive. The project manager is required to understand and use processes from many fields of practice � from planning for organizational change to implementing a quality system.
The Event:
Appropriate to a farewell professional development event, the November 15, 2017 seminar will feature an eclectic mix of case histories and workshops from a wide spectrum of skills and subjects. We have a full program of six sessions. There will be something for everyone, including those working in engineering-construction, information systems, manufacturing processes, and organizational change.
This will be a fitting conclusion to the seventeen year history of the Society as a forum where practitioners from every sector where project management is applied can share their knowledge, learning from each other.
A General Meeting of the Society will be held during the noon hour. All Members are invited to attend. Registration is not necessary to participate in the meeting. A separate notice will be issued for the meeting.
