Project Management Institute (PMI), a member association for the project management profession, will convene in the island nation of Malta at the PMI Global Congress 2008-EMEA from 19 to 21 May, according to Newswire.

The three-day event will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Malta, and it will offer opportunities for project managers to learn about worldwide trends as they apply to everyday decisions.

"Organisations around the world are feeling the competitive pressures that come with globalisation, such as schedule compression, shorter time-to-market windows and managing in longer and longer supply chains," said Gregory Balestrero, CEO of PMI.

ESI International, a provider of project management training, will provide a free breakfast seminar on 8 April, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Doha. It will address strategic business aims and provide the tools required for project managers to develop additional business skills, states Albawaba.

The presentation, "Effective Project Management in High Performing Organisations and How to Build a Project Management Profession" will identify how organisations can maximise project success.

Leading the seminar will be Raed Haddad, ESI senior VP of Global Delivery Services. "We aim to show how companies can learn from their experiences and provide a road map to establish project management as a key competency in organisations," he says.
