PMI EMEA Congress Round up

PMI Global Congress EMEA was attended by 808 people from 54 countries. The countries that sent the most delegates were the United States (weird for a European event, but someone I spoke to said it was a good networking opportunity), the U.K., Ireland, Italy and Germany. I also met people from the U.A.E., Nigeria, Kuwait, and Romania.

Today, 35% of PMI members are based outside North America, according to Beth Partleton, this year’s Chair of PMI’s Board of Directors, although you don’t have to be a PMI member to attend Congress.

Since I got back from Dublin I’ve been writing about my experiences at the Congress, as have other people. Here is a round up of what you might have missed.

Video diary

My video diary of Day 1, with my first impressions
My video diary of Day 2, including the Irish folk band

I also produced a video diary of the EMEA Leadership Institute Meeting which was held preceding Congress, where I gave a presentation about using social media to connect with members.
