NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. and MILAN, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's leading professional membership organization for project managers, will host its PMI® Global Congress 2010—EMEA in Milan, Italy 10-12 May 2010. PMI's Global Congress provides a forum in which practitioners and professionals in leading and emerging EMEA economies can network, discuss trends in project, program and portfolio management, and earn professional development credits. This year's EMEA Congress will take place at the Milano Convention Centre.

Project management skills are in high demand in EMEA regions as organizations compete for technology, infrastructure, and energy projects amid the realities of the new economy. The financial pressures of 2008 and 2009, and their residual impact on resources, however, require organizations to be selective when choosing talent to manage their project-based initiatives – and require project managers to demonstrate added value and proven skills beyond their traditional abilities to manage schedules and budgets while delivering the desired outcome and ensuring stakeholder and customer satisfaction.

The PMI® Global Congress 2010—EMEA includes numerous sessions on topics such as project management trends, the use of new media and social networking tools, using methodologies like Agile to complement general project management practices, and skills needed to manage risk in the new economy. Combined with many opportunities for professional networking, the Global Congress experience offers attendees the opportunity to understand how to work within these real-world confines to deliver successful projects. Project, program and portfolio managers across all industries and Europe, Middle East, and Africa will gather greater insights, make new contacts, and leave the event with ideas and empowerment for immediate implementation in their day-to-day roles.

Registration, pricing, and lodging information for the EMEA Congress is now available online. Exhibit and sponsorship opportunities are also available and more information can be obtained by visiting PMI Exhibit and Sponsorship Sales at [email protected].
