Research Program Working Sessions, held in conjunction with PMI^® global congresses, feature panel discussions and breakout sessions — an opportunity for researchers, academics and advanced practitioners to gather and exchange ideas.

The Research Program Working Sessions are an excellent opportunity to gain information from the practicing profession, expose the PMI research program to a wider audience, and obtain a regional perspective on project management challenges and needs. Sessions offer regional focus, timely topics, advanced presentations of recent research, paper presentations, roundtable discussions, networking opportunities and a wider exposure for the research community.

As a result of these sessions, PMI receives valuable feedback on timely issues and challenges. Session participants gain knowledge and tactical ideas they can apply to their real-world work environments.

These events help PMI build the research community and better understand regional project management needs.
