Attending the events

The next event is taking place on Wednesday 17th & Thursday 18th September 2008

Sweating Your PPSOs Assets - How do you get best value out of what you already have?

See the Next Event for more details on the agenda, how to book, what it costs and how to get there.

Attending a PPSO SIG event is not just about the opportunity to learn more about the latest PPSO news, techniques and processes but also the opportunity to meet like minded professionals.

There's not alot of information, forums, training or help at hand in the area of Programme and Project Support Offices - so if this is your chosen career, come along to any of the events to build up your own contacts

Many of the conferences are held in the Midlands area, notably in Birmingham itself.

Here are some of the feedback we've received from our delegates from the last event :

- "Opportunity to discuss PMO (or PPSO) with a group of similarly focussed people"

- "Didn't really know what to expect. Conference has certainly exceeded my expectations. Very useful and will definitely recommend to colleagues."

- "More contacts. Different viewpoints. Renewed enthusiasms."

- "The people - were the best part, interacting with like-minded colleagues. The presentations on the MS Project & Accounting although over my head, opened my mind."

- " Very useful, gave an opportunity to discuss common issues & generated some ideas on possible approaches to resolve in the future"

- " Yes, I'm a relatively new attendee, so I like the 'niche' focus on PSO/PMO"

- "Absolutely, haven't attended previously and have learned so much"

- "Gained networking with peers. Gained info about a wide variety of relevant issues to me, eg: doing right projects, doing projects right, facilitation"

- "Meeting people in a similar role & understanding that my challenges are not unique & helps me to persevere"

- "Networking: the chance to 'moan' to people who understand"

- "Expectations of the conference were exceeded. The venue was better than expected & the quality of the presentations very good"

 

"My favourite part of the conference - lessons from other organisations and chatting with other PPSO-ers- food for thought!!"

"Good to network and swap ideas- qualify our processes against other models"

"After talking to other people it's great to know we're not doing it all wrong in our organisation!"

"My favourite part - the location, topics covered and the meals!"

The PPSO SIG events are open to all - we welcome group bookings from organisations as well as individuals - everyone is made to feel welcome and comfortable
