Nowadays many projects involve multiple companies, frequently from a variety of countries.  This brings into sharp focus the many aspects of cross cultural working, particularly delivering project outcomes while living in another country and collaborating closely with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds: that is why the 2004 Budapest event should be considered an important interactive workshop for all of us to prepare ourselves to carry the torch- flame of the interdisciplinary knowledge of Project Management around the Globe.
We firmly believe that for those aspiring to true success, the integration of local culture into business strategy is of crucial importance. Thus the philosophy of CCN is all about opening up whole new dimensions in our profession of project management.
To live up to a truly colourful multi-cultural event there are 180 lecture-abstracts registered for the two- day congress from 36 countries from all over the Globe.
Parallel with those high-quality lectures a rich variety of on- stage round-table programmes with lots of surprises are offered, along with the choice of 26 pre- /post-congress seminars (including the 16th Global PM Forum on the pre- congress day) are enriching the optional menu available for those who wish to enhance their in-depth knowledge with an affection towards the scientific achievements of PM-Culture in general as well as for enhanced understanding of cross- cultural knowledge.
On behalf of the International Committee, we cordially invite you to participate in this outstanding opportunity to share ideas, network among the many delegates from the world community of the project management profession, in the lovely and historic capital of Hungary: Budapest, where we had the SIETAR Europa Annual Congress 2003, on the occasion of the 18th IPMA World Congress on Project management on the 19-20 June 2004.
