From
May the 9th to the 11th, 2011, the Project Management Institute (PMI®)
held the PMI Global Congress 2011 EMEA at Convention Center Dublin
(pictured below) in Dublin, Ireland. During the congress, 810+
participants from 75+ countries gathered together to see the new
developments on project management.
Three (3) PM Forum International correspondents attended the congress:
- Theofanis Giotis, CEO of 12PM Consulting and President of PMI-GREECE
- Olivier Lazar, Global Manager, Project Management Excellence at Altran, Vice President at PMI Switzerland Chapter
- Alfonso Bucero, CEO of Bucero Consulting, PMI Component Mentor for EMEA
Region and immediate past president of PMI Madrid Spain Chapter
The
congress opened on Monday noon with
Beth Partelton (pictured right),
PMI Chair that welcomed the participants. Beth then called on the stage
Kevin Eyres, (pictured below left) Managing Director of LinkedIn Europe.
Kevin's
keynote speech was on how social media has become a huge part of daily
life and the business world-changing the way we interact and on how we
learn and make decisions in this fast changing world.
PM Forum corresponded presented on the following topics:
- Alfonco Bucero (PRJ06): The Complete Project Manager: Building the Right Set of Skills for Greater Project Success
- Alfonco Bucero (PRJ01): Your Words, as a Project Manager, Makes a Difference
- Theofanis Giotis (IND03): The New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece: A Unique Project of a Lifetime!
The
exhibition area on the first floor of CCD was the ideal networking
place. The PMI Bookstore was located there and all food was server
there.
During the networking at the exhibition area, everyone
had the opportunity to meet congress participants. At the following

PMI
Ireland, as the hosting PMI Chapter, was the only PMI Chapter with an
exhibition booth at Congress. As a central reference point,
PMI
Ireland's booth was the meeting point for many PMI leaders. Especially
for the
"PIGS"! The four (4) PIGS took a historic picture at the booth.
So far, 3 out of 4 PIGS have asked International Monetary Fund - IMF for
financial help…)
