PMI Local Group Hamburg
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) is the world’s largest organization for professional project management.
As early as 1988 PMI Frankfurt Chapter (PMIFC) was founded as the first organization in Europe.
Based on the initiative of Thomas Kopsch 2002 the Local Group Hamburg within PMIFC came into life. This very active group with ca. 400 members offers i.a. regular group meetings with professional lectures by highly qualified speakers of all lines of business and the public sector.
Thomas Kopsch is leader of the Local Group HH to the present day.
Trivia: Since the founding of the Local Group took place on Friday, September 13th 2002 the opening was scheduled for 13:13 h. This became a tradition and is kept until today.
In September 2012 the anniversary event was held under the motto “Ten Years PMI® in Hamburg – Project Management as Outline of a Profession”.
