Neighboring Event: Maximizing Project Success with PMI

PMI UNY Chapter Meeting: Maximizing Project Success with PMI
Date: 
16 Sep 2026 - 5:15pm
Description: 

Join us in attending (remotely or in person) the PMI Upper New York chapter's September chapter meeting at the PMI UNY member price! At this meeting, we will learn about M.O.R.E - the next chapter in PMI's groundbreaking research on project success, building on PMI's multi-year research into what drives project success in a rapidly changing world. Participants will explore the culmination of that research through the M.O.R.E. vision for the future - a forward-looking perspective on how organizations and project professionals can create greater value and impact.

The session also introduces the accompanying playbook of 40 validated practices, drawn from research and real-world experience. More than a framework, it provides practical insights that organizations can use to strengthen outcomes, adapt to evolving challenges, and position themselves for long-term success. Whether you're leading projects, portfolios, or organizational change, you'll leave with fresh perspectives and actionable ideas to consider in your own context.

Note: The virtual side of the session begins at 6:00 p.m.; the announcements and presentation begin at 6:30 p.m.
