Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF)

Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is organising the Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF) in cooperation with the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), Emaar Properties, and the Project Management Institute (PMI). This initiative stems out of the keenness of Dubai to play a pivotal role in leading the development drive across the region, and establishing the essential ingredients for leveraging the industry based on sound scientific bases aligned with the highest standards and practices. The forum aims to cast light on Dubai as a leading city in the project management industry as its success in this field is epitomized in adopting top-notch international standards in a series of mega projects that have commanded the global attention such as Burj Khalifa, Dubai Metro, airport projects and giant ports with massive operational efficiency. The forum will focus on the vital role of project management in managing and streamlining the business process in public and private entities. It also covers program management to ensure full coordination between various projects towards realizing the common objectives set for those projects. The forum will not only focus on project management in engineering and technological capacities, but will also shed light on other non-traditional sectors such as sport, media and film-making among others. The forum will touch on a number of key topics including: Maximizing the benefit from government investment in infrastructure projects. The link between corporate development projects and corporate strategic plans. Highlighting the role of project management offices in government entities. Planning and following-up government projects & electronic systems applied in this field. The importance of partnering with the private sector in undertaking mega projects.
