Project Manager Summit **5 PDHs**
Wednesday, March 30, 2022
8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Maritime Conference Center (692 Maritime Boulevard, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090)
Join us for a day of development as we learn about the characteristics of a high-performing project manager in the eyes of public and private utility companies or agencies. The focus of this day-long summit is to better understand client expectations on communication, reporting, and conflict resolution styles.
A panel discussion with representatives from local utility companies that may include PEPCO, Verizon, WGL, BGE, City of Baltimore DPW, and other Agencies will begin the day discussing these characteristics. Following the panel session, all attendees will collaborate through interactive team scenarios and training sessions to learn commonalities and different perspectives with feedback from the agencies and industry partners.
Registration is limited and open on a first-come, first-serve basis. Firms are encouraged to send up-and-coming project managers and designers to gain access to this valuable content.
**Registration includes the program, a morning break, lunch, and an afternoon break**
