Project Management Conferences and Events to Attend in 2020

by | Dec 23, 2020

“Being a Project Manager is like being an artist. You have the different colored process streams combining into a work of art.” – Greg Cimmarrusti

This work of art, however, is only possible if you know how to intelligently create beautiful colors by mixing some of the rather dull ones, the kind of strokes to use, and how to piece it all together.

This is where project management events come into play. A vibrant community of project managers, leaders, and project management enthusiasts gather in these conferences, allowing you to learn new skills and improve on the old ones, network with the peers in your industry, and update yourself with the latest tools and strategies in the field. These conferences make it possible for you to learn from the best and apply it to your processes.

As we wrap up this year, the expectations from 2020 are ever-growing. And the project management conferences lined up for the coming year are sure to meet those. Check out this effectively ordained list of events, split month-wise, so conferences from all year-round are brought to you.
