BPUG Congress now in its third year, is established as the UK’s number one event for project, programme and risk managers who actively look forward to an intense 48 hours of meeting, networking and sharing ideas on project, programme and risk management. Arras People is particularly proud to be taking part in the BPUG Congress especially as it has become widely recognised for its impressive speakers and ample opportunities for delegates to actively learn about key Project, Programme and Risk Management issues.

Lindsay Scott Director at Arras People said; BPUG Congress is one of the best conferences you could attend in the Project/Programme/Risk Management field today. It has fantastic experienced speakers talking about the real project management themes which are important for project practitioners today. There is also great networking opportunities available to meet peers who work in leading public and private sector organisations.

ARRAS PEOPLE PROVIDING 1-2-1 ADVICE AND FEEDBACK

Delegates attending the Congress will also have the opportunity to meet Arras People. Arras will be providing 1-2-1 feedback sessions on CVs and advice on the current Project and Programme management climate. Arras will also share newly released information on issues PM professionals are currently facing from their 2010 Project Management Benchmark Report. Now in its fifth year, the 2010 Report takes an in-depth look at current issues and hot topics within the PPM field, issues such as work/life balance, gender equality, public vs. private sector, training and accreditation, along with data points on salaries, remuneration and market rates.

Whether youre a candidate looking for market information or a client who wants an informal chat on future business requirements and resourcing needs, Arras will be available between seminars sessions and talks said Lindsay Scott.

It really is a great event which makes the most of breaks and networking opportunities.
