Book the Date: PMSA Infrastructure Project Management Congress, Durban, 16 and 17 September 2013

As part of its mandate to foster knowledge transfer towards the professional development of project, program and portfolio managers, Project Management South Africa (PMSA) produces world-class conferences and congresses.
In 2013, PMSA supports the national focus on infrastructure development by presenting a two-day congress exploring the role project management plays to deliver infrastructure projects and the lessons that can be learned from projects delivered within a broad range of industries.

The Infrastructure PM Congress, taking place in Durban, South Africa, will attract project people directly or indirectly involved in infrastructure development from the public and private sector. The conference format allows for presentations, panel discussions and interaction between delegates and speakers. Speakers are handpicked for their knowledge and relevance of their insights and experience to the congress theme and project management practices. An opportunity exists for corporates, service and solution providers to participate as delegates, exhibitors, donors or sponsors, as detailed in this document.

WHAT IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE PM CONGRESS?

South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma was just a few paragraphs into his State of the Nation address on 14 February 2013 when he spoke of the NPC-proposed infrastructure projects, reporting on progress made, the tasks ahead and alluding to the inevitable challenges accompanying the awarding of tenders in, in particular, the built environment. It feels that, since the build-up to 2010, the country has had a sustained and exhilarating focus on project management to deliver on the promises. Those project people tasked with the delivery are concerned with excellence, meeting timeframes and giving the end-user what they expect and hope for, all the while with the sense that the nation may be watching their every move.
With this ongoing focus and investment at so many levels, it is pertinent that PMSA presents a dedicated opportunity to showcase some of the successes achieved and those in progress that fall under the infrastructure development banner.
