The Power of Creativity in Projects
Join us for a full-day conference designed for project professionals to delve into the latest practices in fostering creative thinking and innovation within project management and the growth of the profession into new business sectors. The day will improve the understanding and importance of creative and cultural projects for society and explore human-centred design and technology projects.
The middle part of the day will include simultaneous sessions addressing different aspects of the Conference theme.
The primary goal of the conference is to promote the Project Management profession by fostering interaction among project practitioners, APM Corporate members, current project management students, academia, and all those with an interest in projects.
We aim to inspire and equip attendees with innovative strategies and creative solutions to enhance project outcomes across various business sectors. The day will also provide many opportunities to expand your professional network and learn from current practitioners across a wide range of projects.
