What will I get out of the conference?
Managing Projects & Programs offers you a day of training on the latest tools and ideas for managing projects and programs successfully. You walk away from this event with knowledge that you can put to work immediately. The conference also gives you a chance to meet your peers in the business community, exchange ideas, and get a sense of possibilities in your career.

I haven't completed the Professional Development Center's Project Management Program. Can I attend the conference?
Absolutely! The conference is intended for anyone working on projects or programs, regardless of prior training or education. We typically attract a mix of program alumni and newcomers, some of whom have gone on to complete the Project Management Program. This conference gives you a good taste of the engaging, interactive, and highly practical learning that we provide in our courses and events.

Do I get Professional Development Units (PDUs) or Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attending the conference?
Yes. The conference awards you 5 PDUs or .5 CEUs.

How can I be involved in future Managing Projects & Programs conferences?
Given the success of our first five years, we are excited for this year's event and the years ahead. We welcome your input on important topics to cover, presenters who might be a good fit (including yourself perhaps), and potential sponsors. If you have input to give, email conference director Ryan Brown at browncr@pdx.edu.
