PMI(R) Global Congress 2010 — EMEA Set for Milan

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pennsylvania and MILAN, February 3 - Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's leading professional
membership organization for project managers, will host its PMI(R) Global
Congress 2010-EMEA (congresses.pmi.org/EMEA2010) in Milan, Italy 10-12
May 2010. PMI's Global Congress provides a forum in which practitioners and
professionals in leading and emerging EMEA economies can network, discuss
trends in project, program and portfolio management, and earn professional
development credits. This year's EMEA Congress will take place at the Milano
Convention Centre (www.micmilano.it/Home_en.html).

Project management skills are in high demand in EMEA regions as
organizations compete for technology, infrastructure, and energy projects
amid the realities of the new economy. The financial pressures of 2008 and
2009, and their residual impact on resources, however, require organizations
to be selective when choosing talent to manage their project-based
initiatives - and require project managers to demonstrate added value and
proven skills beyond their traditional abilities to manage schedules and
budgets while delivering the desired outcome and ensuring stakeholder and
customer satisfaction.

The PMI(R) Global Congress 2010-EMEA includes numerous sessions on topics
such as project management trends, the use of new media and social networking
tools, using methodologies like Agile to complement general project
management practices, and skills needed to manage risk in the new economy.
Combined with many opportunities for professional networking, the Global
Congress experience offers attendees the opportunity to understand how to
work within these real-world confines to deliver successful projects.
Project, program and portfolio managers across all industries and Europe,
Middle East, and Africa will gather greater insights, make new contacts, and
leave the event with ideas and empowerment for immediate implementation in
their day-to-day roles.
