I recently spent a day at Project Challenge. If you work in projects and you don't know about this event, then you should really make the effort to go. Over two Autumn days in London (and in some years one spring day in Birmingham), you have the opportunity to hear the latest thinking from industry speakers, talk to PM software and training providers, membership organisations and consultants. If (like me) you've been around the industry for a few years, you're bound to bump into someone you know who you haven't seen for a while.
I was helping Lindsay and Eileen to crew the PMO FlashMob stand, and met some interesting people with some interesting challenges - from the PM trying to improve the way the emergency services work together, through the PM considering a move into PMO in the laundry business, to the cool dude in the bright yellow suit giving away Starbucks vouchers!
Whilst I was there I managed to take in a few presentations. Here are some highlights:

There was a time when Project Challenge was all about projects and project management. More recently we're seeing a lot more seminars and exhibitors that count PMO practitioners as their audience. The next Project Challenge takes place on the 6th and 7th October at London's Olympia in Kensington.
Why are we telling you this?
Well, PMO Flashmob have taken a stand there for the show and we'll also be presenting on the first day too.
We thought it would be a good idea to talk to more PMO practitioners about what we're doing with the PMO Flashmob, plus it'll be great to see people there who have already attended previous PMO Flashmobs.
We're planning a few little activities throughout the duration of the show so if you're in town, why not come along and say hello!
