Summary: If you’re a PM, manage PMs, recruit PMs, or sell to them, conferences are the absolute best way to foster productive conversations and build meaningful relationships. Over the years, we’ve curated an exhaustive list of the best PM conferences to attend – use this blog to save yourself the research and start making your reservations already!
The Value of Being Present
The data is clear: regardless of how you feel about in-person business versus a Zoom call, in-person interactions outperform virtual environments when it comes to building trust and collaborating effectively.
Even though Tuck is a 100% remote project management firm, we embrace opportunities share our passion for quality project management with like-minded individuals and organizations. In fact, we’ve kept a running list of PM conferences for a few years and think we’ve figured out which ones add the most value for both participants and sponsors.
The landscape of project management work has changed and continues to change with the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence. AI-enabled project delivery is becoming the norm, not the exception. In this new environment, your professional network becomes a highly valuable asset. Conferences not only give you exposure to individuals who can help you grow, but also keep you one step ahead of competition on emerging technology, trends, and best practices.
