Introduction

The transformational agenda, the PFI/PPP expansion and the ambitious investments in schools, hospitals and public transport – all being closely monitored by the media and the taxpayer – means there has never been a greater demand for effective project management within the public sector.

Some of our speakers from the 2007 conference

Over 11,000 crucial members of staff from the public sector in the North West alone have been identified as working on projects involving transformation and change. If they do not have recognised project management skills their projects will fail and the governments three year target will not be achieved.

Sound project management processes and techniques, not just in the projects we can see and hear about, are essential for succeeding throughout the Public Sector.

This one day networking conference and exhibition is designed to help you to gain an insight into the many aspects of project management and assist you to achieve best practice and success in whatever you set out to do.

It's also a great opportunity to meet and discuss your projects with up to 300 colleagues from across the public sector.

No one wants to be deliver an unsuccessful project.

This conference is designed to bring together professionals from the public sector to discuss their projects and the ways they successfully undertake those projects, whether this is by using 'traditional' project management methods or tools or by using 'new' ideas or methods.
