Message
from the Chair
 Two
years ago I was fortunate to meet Evgeny Lykov at PMI’s EMEA
meeting in Prague. We met again recently during the EMEA meeting
in Madrid and he
gave me a personal invitation to come to the meeting in St.
Petersburg, Russia,
on September 17-19 of this year. While we talked he allowed
me to extend the invitation to the members of the Consulting SIG
as a special offer. This international meeting, "Open
Doors to Project Management” is being hosted
by the St. Petersburg chapter. The conference will start off with
a keynote speech by Greg Balestrero, PMI CEO.
Consulting
Members will receive:
- Complimentary
cultural program during the first day with a sightseeing tour
of St. Petersburg, a tour to Peterhof, a boat tour on the Gulf
of Funland and Neva River, and an evening reception (normal
value of this tour is US $297).
- Free registration
to the two-day program conference (normally US $100).
- Partial
reimbursement for the hotel stay if members stay at the hotel
that is contracted by the conference.
This will
be an exciting opportunity for our European members. For further
details, please contact
Evgeny Lykov at project@pmi.spb.ru
or visit the chapter web site at www.pmi.spb.ru
(click on the "English" button in the upper right
corner).
