Knowledgeshare 2009 (28th & 29th May 2009)

Venue: UCL, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT

The APM runs several Specific Interest Groups (SIGs) covering development and dissemination of key areas of the APM Body of Knowledge. The role of the SIGs is to provide a forum where members and their guests can discuss a particular aspect of project management that is of current interest. These groups help further the understanding and practice of project management tools and techniques within the defined area of interest.

In May, four of the SIGs, in association with the APM London Branch, will coordinate their events at a single venue, University College London, to allow delegates to move between tracks and increase networking opportunities. 

The following tracks are currently planned.
