Welcome
I’m pleased to announce and invite you to be part of PMI UK’s 2013 Synergy event, an Annual
Project Management conference that recognises, celebrates and raises the profile of every Project
Manager.
Synergy is organised almost entirely by volunteers from the UK Chapter of the Project
Management Institute (PMI), the world’s largest project management organisation.
After two years of successful performances and feedback from our attendees and valued
Sponsors, we are planning some exciting changes this year aimed specifically at our sponsors.
The Synergy 2013 theme is “What good looks like and how to achieve it”
750+ attendees are expected at Synergy in 2013. Sponsorship is a great opportunity for you to be
part of this day and connect with the Project Management profession at large.
I invite you to participate in this unique occasion and celebrate with us.
Rajiv Dua
Director of Commercial Events, PMI UK Chapter

About Synergy
A Celebration. Synergy will highlight the value of project
management and the impact it can have when put to use
effectively. A number of organisations are currently
seeking to raise the level of professionalism specific to
their project management capability. Synergy is not ‘just
another conference’, in fact it’s not a conference at all,
rather it’s a landmark occasion celebrating the project
management profession. We wish to make the day truly
memorable. We are confident we will be able to offer an
unparalleled bill of speakers from the UK and overseas,
speakers that inspire and truly make us proud to be project
managers.
Inclusive. We want employers, professional bodies,
academic institutions, government and of course
practicing project managers to come together in
recognition of the contribution we make as a
profession. Whilst being organised by the PMI UK
Chapter, we hope to benefit the professional at large. We
truly hope all elements of the profession will wish to
participate. We have made it our business to ensure the
event is as inclusive as possible.
Affordable. Traditionally project management
conferences can be costly affairs running into hundreds if
not thousands of pounds. Synergy ticket prices represent
very good value for money and put the event within reach
of everyone. For us this is not about profit, it’s about
putting something back into the profession of which we are
all a part.
G-local. The fact that the event is part of a wider network
of events ensures a global dimension to the event, so
global. The fact that it is being organised by the UK
Chapter ensures a local flavour, hence ‘G-local’. The
vision is that the event will be a hub for the activities being
organised to celebrate International Project Management
Day .
Unique. The format of the event ensures the audience will
enjoy the day rather than ‘endure’ it. Project management
speakers rub shoulders with inspirational speakers and
CEOs with a passion for Project Management. The mix
creates a powerful synergy.
