TALK AROUND THE CLOCK ABOUT PROJECT DELIVERY IN SUPPORT OF CHILDREN FROM UKRAINE |
Some of the world’s most distinguished speakers and trainers in Project Management have joined forces for a 24-hour public conference which will take place on 27 and 28 April 2022. Coming from various countries, they will each talk about their project management and leadership topics. All speakers are volunteering for the event, and revenues from the conference will go to UNICEF’s program for children from Ukraine. Patric Eid, the event’s initiator, gave some further insights: “We are very concerned about the impact that wars, famine, exploitation, and other tragedies have on families. The war in Ukraine has been a trigger to motivate us to come together. The profits of this conference’s admission fee will be donated to UNICEF’s support for children and families from Ukraine. But we are already thinking of other worthwhile causes.” The conference is supported by numerous project deliveery organisations, including us - Details and Registration |
