PW & WCBA Conference Recap

Last week I had the pleasure of representing Watermark Learning at the PW&WCBA Conference in Seattle, Washington. Below is a picture of me standing with the Watermark Learning booth.

The PW&WCBA schedule was jam-packed with great material and speakers, which centered around three primary goals:

1. Re-examine how to identify opportunities and track their success.

2. Understand what it means to be an effective leader in a virtual and multicultural world.

3. Explore the future role of project managers and business analysts within the corporation.

Overall the PW&WCBA conference was a great opportunity to network with the approximately 200 project managers and business analysts in attendance.

My favorite part of the conference was when I got to inform our drawing winner, Deana Mellinger of Boeing, that she had won a free class seat. Giving away training is fun!

Rich and Elizabeth Larson and I will be in Phoenix for the PMI Global Congress in October and in Ft. Lauderdale for Building Business Capability in November. Please stop by and visit!
