Sneak Peek > The State of Connected Planning
You are in for some fun! Have you been to a live talk show? Well PMI is to have its own show on May 2nd. Come, listen and enjoy as PMI interviews a small selection of members about their professional past – snippets about challenging stories, explaining a disaster project to the CEO which they would prefer not to remember. These are just for starters.
We will have a stage with relaxing soft chairs for those in the spotlight and a sofa nearby for those who have been interviewed so they are still involved in the live interviews. Interviews may be of varying length.
Look out for the next few weekly newsletters in the weeks leading up to May 2, to see who is to be interviewed.
Look forward to seeing you at the event.
