QAI to Organize the 8th Annual International Project Management Leadership Conference PML 2013

QAI, the world’s leading consulting and workforce development organization recently announced its 8th Annual International Project Management Leadership Conference (PML 2013) to be held on 14th June, 2013 at Hotel Novotel Juhu Beach, Mumbai. Designed to operate as the single largest platform in the Project Management sphere, PML 2013 endeavors to bring together practitioners, thought leaders, tool vendors, product experts, gurus and senior representatives from across industries, academia and government for sharing, exchanging, learning & accelerating implementation of best practices in Project Management.

PML 2013 is built on the theme of 'Achieving Superior Business Performance with Better Project Management across Industries’. Driven by recent business trends such as fewer management layers, greater flexibility, increasing geographical distribution and more project-based work, project management has grown beyond its roots in the construction, engineering and aerospace industries to transform the service, financial, computer, and general management sectors. In fact according to some estimates the world annually spends well over $10 trillion (US) on projects.

PML 2013 vehemently seeks to propagate the message that Project Management is not intended only for IT Projects, as generally perceived over the years. The horizon is being widened to include all other sectors - especially Automotive, Pharmaceuticals, Construction, Manufacturing and Financial services.

Recognizing the leadership position, practitioners from various organizations will contest for The Best of the Best - Project Management Leadership Awards at the conference. Leading industry experts and researchers from various industries have shared their expertise and best practices in the area of Project Management. PML 2013 has received 60+ author intent submissions by professionals from global companies across industries and sectors. From numerous papers submitted by practitioners, finalists have been shortlisted who will compete at the Conference for the Awards on June 14th 2013.

QAI is among a select few organizations in India to have launched Project Management Conference 8 years ago and has seen organizations like Kovair, Minitab, Pearson VUE, Aricent and iPlan among others supporting the same. The conference will give attendees the opportunity to hear illustrious speakers from organizations including Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL), Jardine Lloyd Thompson, Axis Bank Ltd., and many more.

“Project Management, as an independent discipline, has been gaining increasing recognition as a critical differentiator for better business performance. The conference will emphasize on Project Management as an important element in Operational Excellence. By bringing industry leaders together, QAI endeavors to facilitate knowledge sharing for PM practitioners, developers and project managers.” said Mr. Navyug Mohnot, CEO, QAI.

For over 15 years, QAI has brought together international representatives and recognized thought-leaders to share information, learn new software quality processes, and discuss software practices through a number of prestigious events like Project Management Leadership Conference (PML), IT Service Management Conference (ITSM), Program and Portfolio Management Conference (PPM), High Maturity Best Practices Conference (HMBP) and the International Software Testing Conference (STC).
