Following the successes of the 25th IPMA World Congress, hosted by AIPM (IPMA-Australia) in Brisbane, the challenge is clear: Produce another excellent IPMA World Congress, in Crete, 29-31 October, 2012. Now, you have the opportunity to help with that challenge.
We want your ideas on special streams, tutorials, round tables, special sessions, competitions or workshops you would like to include.
WHAT MIGHT YOU PROPOSE? Here is an example: We have received a proposal for a pre-Congress workshop, together with a proposal for a special stream. The topic of interest? Sustainability in PM. This has been proposed by a consortium of experts from the Netherlands, Austria, the UK, and the USA. The proposers will be Stream Chairs, and work together to make this stream a highlight of the Congress.
Want to make your own proposal for a special session? Please review the 2012 Congress How to make a proposal page. Or, from the link at the bottom of that page, download the Proposal Template.
Select the proposed event type you prefer, complete the proposal template, and send it to the email address indicated. The most interesting proposals will be selected and implemented in the Congress program. REMEMBER, THE PROPOSAL DEADLINE IS 15 MARCH!
About The Congress Website
The website, http://www.ipma2012.gr (with a mirror site at http://2012.ipma.gr) offers a range of preliminary information about the event. The “Launcher” page, or home page, shows a range of resources and links that are of immediate interest for your planning, including:
- The Congress Streams, both Academic and Professional.
- The Call for Papers, with a template and sample abstract. Your abstracts are due 30 April.
- Details of the ways your papers will be made available in juried format, and, with your permission, also published in industry publications.
- The Venue: Important for making your travel plans. Note that Crete has direct connections from many airports in Europe, and is an easy Athens stopover for those of us coming from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Australia.
- Background on Greece and the island of Crete to tempt you to arrive early and enjoy the culture, food and people.
See you in Crete, for the IPMA World Congress, October 29-31, 2012!
