Dear Project Management Enthusiasts,

It was an incredible experience for the PMI Bangladesh Chapter to host for the first time ever, the ninth edition of the Project Management Regional Conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Based on the theme, “Project Management: Architecting Resilience,” the conference encapsulated the crucial role of project management in building the resilience necessary for project success. It emphasized the need for project managers to act as architects, construct frameworks that withstand unexpected disruptions and propel projects toward triumph.

Throughout the conference, the audience had the privilege of hearing from esteemed speakers on how resilience can be integrated into project management methodologies, tools and practices. The excitement reached a new height as Nigar Sultana Joty (captain) and Marufa Akter (fast bowler) from the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Team shared their remarkable journey in the 22 yards.

This conference was a remarkable experience for over 500+ delegates, allowing them to network with peers, exchange ideas and forge meaningful connections beyond the confines of the conference venue. The knowledge shared and relationships built empowered each one of us to enhance our project management capabilities and foster resilience within our organizations.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the speakers, sponsors, volunteers, PMI R11 chapter leaders, PMI officials, attendees and our board of directors. They generously extended their support, expertise and time to ensure the resounding success of this event. Their presence and contributions were invaluable to the success of this event.

Finally, let us remember that resilience is not merely a concept but a mindset that enables us to adapt, overcome and emerge stronger from adversity.

Warm Regards,

Annesha Ahmed
Conference Chair and President,
PMI Bangladesh Chapter
