Roundtables
With our roundtables we want to provide an opportunity to our members and interested PMs to discuss one ore several PM topics in an open atmosphere. Each roundtable is hosted by a PMI Southern Germany Chapter volunteer, also presentations can be given. A participant ususally can claim 2 PDUs for a 2h roundtable.Online Roundtable
Our new roundtable format, the online roundtable, debuted on May 18, 2016, with the topic of "Project Health Check—Project Optimization." Even if it is, by definition, not a "local group," we see this format as a relevant representation of the institution and chapter, "a (virtual) national presence." Our online roundtable will now take place at irregular intervals using the webinar platform of chapter volunteer Wolfgang Gotscharek. We will keep you posted using our regular channels as well as in the event calendar.
