"Soaring the Winds of Change"
31st October - 1st November 2002

Invitation & Welcome
Welcome to the 2002 Project Management Conference with the theme "Soaring the Winds of Change".

Change. It's constant. Being involved in or associated with project management, we recognise that it part of our daily business, political and social lives. We embrace change because this is what each project delivers. This year the conference will bring together shared insights, knowledge and experiences that will help each of us better understand how change can be used as a catalyst for success and the role project management plays in successfully managing change.

As the eighth annual national conference of the Project Management Institute of New Zealand, this year it's being held at the Sheraton Auckland Hotel.

Many thanks to the conference team who have been planning and preparing to bring you a conference that should be an interesting, educational, challenging and a rewarding two days. It will be packed with a diversity of papers which are to run over multiple streams, so as to give lots of choice:
New Lift. Covering new developments or changes in project management.
Wind Sheer. Covering management of business change via project management.
Up Lift. The softer side of project management.
Taking Off. The basics of project management.

There will also be ample opportunities to network with your peers during the breaks and evening activities.

Our keynote speakers this year include:
Sabeer Bhatia (the co-founder of Hotmail)
Melissa Clark Reynolds (a self-made highly successful entrepreneur and millionaire)
Alan Patching (project manager/director for some of Australia's largest construction and development projects, including the Olympic Stadium)
Jack Ralston (self described as a "part trainer, part motivator, agitator and initiator - and a Futurist").

On behalf of the Project Management Institute, the PMINZ Board and the conference project team, we invite you to attend the 2002 Project Management Conference, and experience the tradition of an event that is professional and fun.

Yours Sincerely
Jane Farley, PMP
