PGCS 2023 Symposium Overview - Why you should attend! 

Competent people create project success.

A competent person is capable of applying knowledge effectively to achieve a desired outcome. This simple statement has several layers.  To be a competent project practitioner or manager you need:
 - To know what you need to know,
 - Acquire that knowledge,
 - Understand how to apply the knowledge in practice, and
 - Reflect on your achievements to identify opportunities for improvement. 

PGCS is designed to help develop you project management competencies by providing a range of presentations designed to pass on the presenters knowledge, offering opportunities to network and interact with other practitioners to discuss what works in practice, and preparing and delivering a presentation is the ideal opportunity to reflect on what was good, and what can be improved in your practice. 

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 'competent people create success'.  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 Symposium 2023. 

 
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 development.

- 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.
