50 Years of Shifting Gears: PMI Past, Present, and Beyond

Take a tour in time to help illustrate just how far the project management industry has come.  We will dig up interesting artifacts and events from 1969 and reflect on how they relate to today’s business environment.  We will also learn more about what inspired the origin of the Project Management Institute and cover some of the organization’s historical moments. Then, we will shift gears and focus on PMI’s vision for the future and how the project management profession is evolving.
