Thames Valley Network Project Management Challenge 25-26 Finals Night
APM Thames Valley Network is pleased to announce the return of the Project Management (PM) Challenge. This competition aims to promote the project management profession by offering potential and emerging project professionals the chance to enhance their project management skills. Participants work collaboratively as a team to execute a real project from inception to completion. PM Challenge, an annual competition tailored for individuals new to project management, has been a staple in Thames Valley for more than a decade, attracting entries from 13 teams this year. The competition concludes with a prestigious finals night, during which the five finalist teams will present their projects and the winning team will be announced.
The finals night serves as a platform to recognise the accomplishments of the participating teams. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with other participants, mentors, sponsors, and clients, sharing their experiences from this year's Challenge.
We will also be celebrating the APM Regional Network Awards at this event. This competition celebrates the achievements of project professionals and students within the region. Our finalists are invited to attend this event and we will have a dedicated part of the evening to announce the winners.
It is important that all attendees from each team, including team members, mentors, sponsors, and clients, register individually for the event.
Please note that this event will be held in person, and there will be no virtual access available.
