Annual Conference 2019 - A Focus on Time
PMI Portland is excited to host its 18th Annual Conference on September 20 at the Oregon Convention Center. This year’s event highlights the impact of TIME: Talent, Inspiration, Motivation and Emotional Intelligence on our project management profession.
The conference features 16 sessions including “Package Yourself for Success,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” and “Embracing an Agile Mindset,” with all topics aligning to PMI's required focus on strategy, leadership, program and portfolio management, and tools and techniques. In addition to the workshops, we'll mix in plenty of networking opportunities to share the latest with 400+ colleagues across many industries.
The event kicks off at 8 a.m. with breakfast and keynote speaker Kevin D. Monroe, host of the popular Higher Purpose podcast which inspires and equips people to “live, love and lead with purpose.” Marli Williams, a “leadership activator, courage cultivator and confidence catalyst” will close the conference, pushing attendees to boldly take action to lead without waiting for permission.
