Middle East P3M Community of Practice Conference – the after match

The third Middle East P3M Community of Practice Conference, hosted at the Dhow Palace Hotel by the Middle East Project, Programme and Portfolio Management (P3M) community of practice last Monday 19th January was a resounding success. The first delegates arrived at around 7.30am – but the event ended up starting only at 9am, after the delays due to the traffic in Dubai and audio problems… Despite the late beginning, Andy Murray’s presentation was received with joy – and Richard Renshaw of Nakheel followed with great acceptance too. A sumptuous lunch was provided and enjoyed by all, and after the meal our very own Melanie did her presentation, and was followed by Andrew Hudson. According to the delegates, our Client Relations Director, William Franklin, was the “bouncer” – no one could go out the doors without speaking with him! Our Managing Director, Salman Bhatti, took on the role of event manager, while Feroze Khan (the General Manager of Maven Training’s Dubai office) was looking after delegate registration – which went on all morning as attendees were drifting. The event officially finished following a lively “ask the panel” session at 3.30pm and the final delegates left at around 5pm following a round table session with some of the presenters. Looks like it was a Maven Training Day in Dubai…

All presentations are available at the Middle East Project, Programme and Portfolio Management (P3M) community of practice website.
