The PMI Global Summit is PMI's Eventex Award-winning flagship event. It was developed during the coronavirus pandemic and took place for the first time in Las Vegas in 2022 and in Atlanta in 2023.

Naturally, most of the 3,500 participants in Atlanta came from the USA. In order to bring the event format to other continents, the event will be traveling as the PMI Global Summit Series in the future.

In Europe, the PMI Global Summit Series will be held from 10.04. to 11.04.2024 in the center of Berlin, at the bcc (https://bcc-berlin.de/).

In order to support our profession as a professional association and to implement our chapter strategy, we need support and are looking for more volunteers.

A chapter is a group of PMI members within a specific geographical area - in our case, Germany. The PMI Germany Chapter creates a sense of belonging and fosters a community spirit among members. We organize regular meetings, events, workshops and seminars where professionals can come together, exchange ideas and learn from each other. But we couldn't do all this without our volunteers - the essential core of the chapter. And to be able to do more as a professional association, we also need more support, i.e. more volunteers.
 

As a professional association, it is important for us to pick up on topics and trends and work out what they mean for the field of project management. In the PMI Germany Chapter, we do this in so-called Communities of Practice (CoP).

In just over a month the first round of the mentoring program for members of the PMI Germany Chapter ends. The overall feedback is very positive and offers helpful recommendations ahead of the preparation for our second round, targeted to kick off in Q1/24. 

In mid-December, the first round of our mentoring program will be completed. In this initial round, 68 participants embarked on a journey of sharing experiences and mutual support. 33 mentors are guiding 35 mentees - including 8 members of the PMI Chapter Ukraine. Even though this round is still ongoing, the feedback we (as program team) did receive through an anonymous survey is quite encouraging for us. 

Adaptation is the order of the day for modern companies. According to a recent PMI global survey on project management, two-thirds of organizations are engaged in ongoing and continuous digital transformation. Other priorities include changing corporate strategy (36%), introducing new technologies (34%) and expanding into new markets (32%). All of this is associated with more or less far-reaching changes. In order to manage these changes, you need future-oriented project teams.

How can project managers build and maintain such high-performance, future-oriented teams?

From October 25-28, 2023, the PMI Global Summit 2023 was held in Atlanta. With over 3,500 attendees, this was the largest in-person event ever hosted by PMI.

During a speech, Pierre Le Manh, CEO of PMI conveyed the following key messages on the state of PMI and project management:
