2019 Project Management Conferences in the United States
The following list includes some of the most influential project management conferences within the United States for the remaining half of 2019.
Keeping up with industry trends is an important part of being an effective project manager but it can be a hassle (and expensive) to travel internationally for a project management conference if you live in the United States.
Conferences provide project managers with the ability to gain new skills, get exposed to new ideas, learn about the latest tools and methods, and network with peers, experts, and industry thought leaders. A good PM conference should leave you feeling inspired and more confident about how you approach your projects.
While this is not an exhaustive list of all the upcoming conferences available, we have curated this list by choosing some of the most promising project management conferences that you won’t want to miss if you are looking to grow your network and improve your project management skills.
