PMI® Global Congress 2011 — EMEA Set for Dublin

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. and DUBLIN, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's leading professional membership association for project managers, announces that registration is open for the PMI® Global Congress 2011—EMEA.  The Global Congress, which provides a forum in which project management practitioners, students and executives can network and earn professional development credits, will take place from 9-11 May 2011 at The Convention Centre Dublin.  

Project management skills are in high demand in EMEA regions as organizations compete for technology, infrastructure and energy projects.  Ireland in particular is experiencing an increased need for skilled project managers as its manufacturing and services sectors expand and its trade surplus continues to grow; with export demand rising in the U.S. and China, Irish organizations are increasingly competitive and attractive to foreign investors.  This setting will provide a timely context for project managers as they learn the skills needed to demonstrate value and remain competitive within the transitioning global economy.

The PMI Global Congress 2011 — EMEA features several areas of focus that meet a variety of career development paths. Topics include advanced project management skills, research, communications skills, consulting skills, general business skills, new project management trends and more.  With numerous sessions that address the factors that are currently influencing project management trends in the EMEA region, plus several opportunities for professional networking, the Global Congress experience offers attendees the opportunity to understand how to work within real-world parameters to deliver successful projects. Registration, pricing and lodging information for the 2011 EMEA Congress is now available online.  Exhibit and sponsorship opportunities are also available and more information can be obtained by contacting PMI Exhibit and Sponsorship Sales at [email protected].
