Enhanced networking opportunities have been built into this year's event along with special guest speakers such as Mick Ebeling, who will challenge attendees to think differently, and discover that all problems have the ability to be solved with some creativity. Victoria Kumar, with extensive experience from working with IBM, North Carolina's State Government, and PMI Global, is also one of the 2016 featured speakers who will share her knowledge and strategic tips on how to manage shifting global trends and an uncertain economy, which requires organizations to shift their thinking and embrace project management as a strategic competency that can reduce risk, cut costs and improve success rates.

"My membership in PMI-OC shaped my professional career. PMI-OC gave me the opportunity to build my project management and leadership abilities within the supportive volunteer program when I was starting my project management career. I use these skills every day. I continue to actively participate in PMI-OC after 15 years because I learn something new each time I attend an event or participate as a volunteer." -Kristine A. Hayes Munson, MBA, PMP, CIA, PMI-OC Fellow and VP, IT Risk & Compliance at State Street
