Willkommensstunde - PMI Germany Chapter - November 2026

A warm welcome to the PMI Germany Chapter! At our monthly welcome session, we welcome new members, provide insights into current offerings, key activities, and volunteer opportunities—and, above all, we get to know one another.

Our welcome hour is not a one-way street – we want to talk to you! Ask your questions, give us feedback, and contribute your ideas. Your opinion counts and helps us to tailor the chapter even better to the needs of our community.

We are looking forward to seeing you.

Special focus this time:

Katharina Bless Da Silva is once again playing a major role at the PM-Summit (https://pm-summit.de). She’ll be giving us a firsthand overview of what it takes for a team of volunteers to prepare for a conference like this. As Head of the Study Group for the past two years and Head of PMO Mentoring for the past year, Annette Born has been actively helping to shape two key programs of the PMI Germany Chapter for its members. In today’s welcome session, she will introduce these two initiatives and explain how they promote collaborative learning, the exchange of experiences, and personal development within the PMI community.

We look forward to seeing many participants and to exchanging ideas!
