PGCS 2022 Symposium Overview - Why you should attend! 

Success is never an accident!

Diligence is the mother of good luck(1); PGCS 2022 will examine the foundations needed to deliver successful projects and programs including:

  -  Building successful teams
  -  Structuring organisations for successful delivery
  -  Managing luck (aka risk)

Assuming ‘you make your own luck’; being a part of PGCS 2022 as a delegate, presenter or sponsor is a great way to tap into a global knowledge network to help you and your projects succeed.

As always, this year's PGCS project and program management symposium will feature an exciting range of keynote and stream speakers focused around our theme 'success is never an accident'.  So if, as Roman philosopher Seneca once said, Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Its never too soon to click through to the new symposium website to register your interest and be kept up to date with the details of this exciting hybrid (face-to-face & virtual) event.

PGCS is unique in Australia

PGCS is the only event focused on enhancing an organisation's ability to govern its projects and programs by improving the capability and integration of both its project controls and governance functions. We achieve this in three ways:
  

A unique focus on project managment, governance and controls

PGCS is simultaneously a major event for Australia's project management professionals and for their senior managers responsible for organisational governance. 

The Symposium is designed to provide a unique learning experience - see more. 

Our corporate structure is deliberately light - see about us. 

We are not-for-profit, all surpluses are invested in education and research in Australasia - see more on our research grants.  

Working to develop Australian skills

- Bringing international thought leaders from Europe and the USA to participate in the symposium.

- A strong focus on Australian academic developments including an academic stream.

- Organising one-on-one meetings between our visiting keynotes and Australian leaders.

- Publishing the symposium materials, for public access, in our library.

- Including masterclasses from international experts in the program (see this year's program). 

Providing an open forum for the exchange of ideas

We do not seek to compete with member based organisations, PGCS policy is to network with and support all organisations focused on developing the profession of project management world-wide. See below.
