Men are welcome to join women project managers at Adelaide’s Grand Chancellor Hotel this Friday to update skills to ensure success in major projects, businesses and even jobs.

Women in Project Management (WIPM) – a special interest group that is part of the Australian Institute of Project Management – aims to provide a forum that encourages the recruitment, development and equity of women project managers.

WIPM has teamed up with Women in Engineering (Engineers Australia) to present the lunch event called: Don't underestimate the power of networking!

At the event, professional speaker and corporate trainer Sharon Ferrier will explain the How and Why of networking, including how to promote yourself and how a wide network of personal and professional contacts is essential to obtain new clients, new projects, new business or a new job.

Organisers emphasise that men and non project managers are welcome to attend the WIPM event.

The WIPM seminar is running at Hotel Grand Chancellor, 65 Hindley Street Adelaide from 12-1.30pm on Friday, November 19. Register for the AIPM event at http://www.aipm.com.au/events/calendar/calendar.asp?action=viewevent&eventid=700
