- Date: Wednesday, June 18th
- Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
- Location: Culver City Julian Dixon Library
Are you ready to break out of the ordinary and experience project management in a whole new way? Join us for PMI-LA’s first-ever Open Space Event—an interactive, in-person forum designed to spark collaboration, share real-world solutions, and empower you to elevate your project management game.
What Makes This Event Different?
Unlike traditional meetings or lectures, the Open Space format puts YOU at the center. This is not a passive event—it's a dynamic, participant-driven experience where your voice, your challenges, and your insights shape the conversation. Whether you’re a seasoned project leader or just starting your journey, you’ll find value in connecting with peers who are passionate about project success.
What to Expect
- Engaging Breakout Sessions:
Dive into three focused breakout discussions, each designed to address the most critical aspects of project management today:
- Communication & Leadership:
Explore practical strategies for building trust, engaging stakeholders, and leading teams with confidence. Learn how to navigate tough conversations, resolve conflicts, and foster a collaborative environment where everyone thrives. - Common Challenges & Solutions:
Share your experiences and discover innovative ways to tackle scope creep, resource constraints, tight timelines, and unexpected risks. This is your chance to learn from real-world successes (and failures!) and walk away with actionable solutions. - Tools, Technology & Reporting:
Get hands-on with the latest project management tools, software, and reporting techniques. Compare best-in-class solutions, discuss KPI tracking, and discover how data visualization can drive better decision-making and project outcomes.
- Open Space, Open Conversation:
Each breakout is just the beginning. The real magic happens when you bring your own questions, stories, and ideas to the table. This is a safe, supportive space to ask for advice, offer solutions, and build lasting connections with fellow project professionals. - Actionable Takeaways:
You’ll leave with new strategies, fresh perspectives, and a network of peers who are as committed to project excellence as you are. Plus, you’ll gain practical tools and insights you can apply immediately to your current projects.
Why Attend?
- Shape the Conversation: Your input drives the discussion—no two sessions are ever the same.
- Expand Your Network: Meet and collaborate with project managers from across industries.
- Grow Your Skills: Learn proven techniques and discover new tools to boost your effectiveness.
- Be Inspired: Experience the energy and creativity that comes from true collaboration.
