You are invited to join us for the second National Women in Project Management (WiPM) Conference,
"Driving the Future", sponsored by BAE Systems and organised by the Association for Project
Management. The agenda is full of stimulating talks and interactive debate designed to facilitate
knowledge-sharing and fresh insights for attendees. Delegates will leave the conference armed with new
ideas for progressing their own careers and personal development but also bursting with enthusiasm to
promote the profession and encourage a new generation of project managers.
The objectives of the conference are:
• Reinforce the importance of women in project management
• Highlight the importance of women’s contribution to the economy through practical examples
• Provide opportunities for delegates to hear from leading professionals and to be inspired to drive the future in
their own careers.
• Provide perspectives on what to ask of employers improve project delivery
• Provide food for thought for delegates to help them drive their own objectives and achieve their career goals
