Presentation synopsis

= Attend = Learn = Perform =

Mark this day in your calendar: Saturday, February 27, 2010. ·       

Attend PMI Greater Toronto Information Systems Local Interest Group's (GTISLIG) first Professional Development Day (PDD) and re-energize yourself just in time for spring; listen to amazing speakers and build on your current base knowledge of Information Systems and Technology project management.

·          Always wanted to know what Systems Architects actually do and why their participation is a critical success factor for enterprise projects?

·         Need to clarify the benefits of using Six Sigma or what new project management tools are available? 

·         Just what does "Green IT" mean, and why should you care about things like ERP or Scrum project management? 

These are just some of the topics presented at this event which will provide answers to your questions.  If you are already an IS/IT PM or you are working towards becoming one, this is the event for you. The event’s agenda is tailored as much for specialized IS/IT project managers as for everyone who wants to learn more about information technology.

We have gathered a wide range of experts to share their knowledge with you: 3 Tracks, 12 speakers and 2 Key Note Speakers. Most of the speakers are new to PMI SOC and you have not seen them before at any of our events - guaranteed!!  ·   

PLUS

·         Lunchtime presentations from industry recruiters;

·         Networking opportunities with other project managers;

·         7 PDUs ...

and this makes it

a day that YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!
