Becominga BetterProject Manager

This seminar was specifically developed to support new and aspiring PMs in A/E/P and environmental consulting firms. Many architects, engineers, planners, and environmental consultants get little or no training in project management and are drafted into project manager roles totally unequipped. In fact, a Zweig Group survey found that almost half of the firms surveyed did not provide training to their PMs and 76 percent of the firms rely on on- the-job training for their PMs. Becoming a Better Project Manager will provide project managers with a fundamental understanding of the type of personality and characteristics successful project managers have that allow them to flourish in their role. cost: first attendee: $975; ad- ditional attendees: $825 location: Chicago more info: zweiggroup.com/ seminars/better_pm/ NASCC: TheSteel techniques for buildings and bridges, as well as an extensive trade show featuring cutting-edge products ranging from structural software to state-of-the-art fabrication equipment. location: Orlando more info: aisc.org/content. aspx?id=40530 Conference Seminars on the latest steel design concepts and construction
