RIYADH: Project managers and experts are scheduled to gather in Riyadh for the third Global Project Management Forum to share their experiences and discuss best global practices in the sector.
The two-day annual event will be held on June 2-3 to highlight the latest developments in the field of project management across various sectors and serve as a platform for industry experts to share creative ideas to achieve their professional goals.
To be held under the theme “We Achieve the Dream: Leadership, Empowerment, Sustainability,” the event aspires to showcase Saudi Arabia’s distinguished position and leading role in colossal and futuristic projects worldwide.
The forum is designed to bring together the most influential global community of project managers and diverse stakeholders for immersive learning, networking, and collaboration.
