Project management practices in spotlight at Riyadh forum

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.

Last year, the event succeeded in attracting 2,609 participants, and a much larger number is expected this year.

Badr Burshaid, president of the Project Management Institute-KSA chapter, emphasized the distinguished position that the forum has been able to achieve over the past two consecutive years.

“Since its inception, the forum annually attracts project leaders from around the world, including thought and business leaders, academics, professional and technical managers, as well as major organizations and institutions, to exchange knowledge and experiences,” he stated.

Burshaid added: “This contributes to the implementation of government initiatives aimed at making Riyadh one of the most sustainable and economically significant cities in the world.”

Additionally, GPMF aspires to advance the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by enhancing the skills and capabilities of project management professionals in the Kingdom.
