Invitation To Attend

On behalf of the Australian Institute of Project Management, it is our pleasure to extend an invitation for you to
join us and participate in the 2010 AIPM National Conference to be held in Darwin from 10-13 October 2010.
Darwin will prove to be a sensational location for the 2010 Conference; with so much to see and do in the top
end of Australia. We encourage delegates to spend some extra time and visit some of the iconic areas of the
Northern Territory such as Kakadu or Litchfield – both day trips from Darwin. The Darwin Convention Centre is
a state of the art facility that caters for delegates and exhibitors.

The Conference offers the opportunity for project managers and those working in the field of project
management to up skill, knowledge share, and network. The three day program features a variety of national
and international speakers and a social program allowing delegates, sponsors and exhibitors the opportunity
to mix in both a professional and social environment. The Conference theme this year is

Project Management - Creating a Future.
Environmental
Environmentally friendly and sustainable projects are being described as the "future of our
planet". What really is driving these developments and how will they be successfully managed into the future?

Social
Are projects influenced by their impact on and development of social justice requirements?
Must project managers demonstrate a higher recognition of the overall social / economic and behavioural
impacts of projects within todays cultural and social diversity?

Global Project Management has become a truly global profession with internationalisation of Competency
Standards and the increasing development of the global village. In particular how will the profession grow
and influence development within the Asia Pacific region? What are the challenges facing global project
management and the delivery of projects?

Physical Project Management provides a pivotal role in the successful delivery of the built infrastructure. What
are the challenges in delivering projects within value for money guidelines and are they being delivered locally
and internationally to meet the growing regional needs?

We look forward to welcoming you to Darwin.
We know you’ll have a great time in Australia’s top end.

Convenor
