Welcome to PMSA

PMSA Conference 2010

PMSA is proud to host its 6th Biennial National Conference in 2010.

This event continues to be the only non-commercial, national project, programme and portfolio management conference presented by a professional association in South Africa. It attracts delegates from South Africa and abroad and has earned respect and recognition from the global project management fraternity as a world-class event.

PMSA Conference 2010
Review - Reflect - Renew
Project Insights Gained & Lessons
for the Future

The build-up to 2010, with South Africa’s physical and IT infrastructure, hospitality and business service development to meet it’s obligations as host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup resulted in an enormous number of projects with 2010 as deadline.

By September 2010, the event will be over and the world will know how South Africa performed as host and how it delivered on the projects that were completed in time for this auspicious year.

In the rest of the world, the past 18 months has presented other project management challenges. The global recession, new demands for sustainability and minimising the environmental impact of projects, political changes, increased competition...these all called for new ways of thinking, better ways of delivering. Over the same timeframe, project management itself has matured, with new additions to the body of knowledge, new research undertakings highlighting trends, and in some countries, steps towards legislation to formalise how project management is practiced. 

All of this makes late 2010 an ideal time to review what we have achieved, reflect on what the past few years have taught us, and apply these lessons learned to renew our approach, practices and mindset for the challenges of the future.

Project Managers, not only in South Africa but from around the world, will have much to share on these three themes, whether they were observers to or participants in the major projects that had 2010 as a deadline, or affected by the other factors at play.

Registration opens soon.
