Hyderabad Pearl City Chapter
11/1/2009The PM Conference to be held in Hyderabad on 13-15 November presents exciting prospects for the project management community to learn and grow. It brings together eminent speakers and experienced project professionals and provides a platform to exchange ideas and share amazing success stories.
Through the months of September and October, the chapter has been gearing up for the big event. The chapter organized pre-conference workshops in September and October on various topics, like A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)—Fourth Edition, Microsoft projects, function point estimation, program management and earned value management.
On 2 October, the chapter observed Gandhi Jayanti by conducting a volunteer meet. Suresh Chandra, chapter president, and V. Srinivasa Rao, PM Conference chairman, attended the meet. They shared their experiences in volunteering and updated volunteers on PMI volunteer benefits. Rao highlighted the need to mobilize delegates, promote the conference for setting up stalls, and generating interest in the conference among companies from different verticals. Another volunteer meet took place later in the month, which was a curtain raiser for the main event in November. The executive committee, PMO and all the active volunteers and all other PMIPCC members participated in the network meeting.
