Topic: Project Management Roundtable - One Part Practical and Two Parts Therapy
Description: What PM issues keep you up at night? What PM triumphs have you achieved that you would like to share? What PM challenges lie before you in the coming year? What the heck is "PM"? Please join us for a roundtable discussion to tackle these and other questions related to the world of project management. Kathrine Cain and Mark Holdread will facilitate an open discussion where you will have an opportunity to ask and answer questions and network with your peers. Please come prepared to participate in what is sure to be a lively discussion about all things "Project Management."
