INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
MANAGER MEETING
The IAPM likes to encourage experience
sharing and communication between its
certificate holders. This is the reason why it
established the International Project Man-
ager Meetings (IPMMs). Every year since
2001 the IPMMs have provided an interna-
tional platform for in-depth and pro-active
dialogue between project management
professionals. Renowned guest speakers
kick-off the event with initial keynote pres-
entations on diverse subjects as the basis
for further discussion. The IAPM has struc-
tured the IPMMs on an Open Space basis
to offer participants plenty of opportunities
to put forward their own ideas and topics.
Under the guidance of experienced facili-
tators, the meetings are a platform for the
discussion of problems and the elaboration
of possible solutions.
The IAPM uses the productive input and
ideas that are generated by the IPMMs to
continue evolving as an association and
certification body.
For example, the IAPM’s online certifica-
tion process is the product of extensive
input and feedback from international
project managers at the IPMMs. Many
project management practitioners believe
that other certification bodies‘ time and
cost-intensive assessments are no longer
contemporary.
People who have attended the IPMMs
are very pleased with the results of these
events and believe that they deliver a great
deal of added value, particularly through
dialogue between project managers in
many different sectors of industry. The
topics addressed at the IPMMs help par-
ticipants to expand their horizons, and dia-
logue offers them the opportunity to com-
municate valuable insights and ideas.
The IPMMs are non-public events that are
only open to IAPM certificate holders.
