Project Management Association Finland (PMAF), Projektiyhdistys ry in Finnish, is a not-for-profit organization, and the International Project Management Association (IPMA) Member Association (MA) in Finland. Founded in 1978, PMAF promotes the interaction, project-oriented thinking, and exchange and development of practical and theoretical knowledge among project management professionals with 4000 individual and over 200 organizational members.
PMAF promotes the development and dissemination of project and project management knowledge. PMAF members are able to enjoy information sharing, workgroups, development projects, project management forums, conferences and certification services PMAF provides. PMAF organizes two annual conferences: Project Days (Projektipäivät in Finnish) in early November, and 3PMO in early June.
This year Projektipäivät took place on 29 … 30.10.2019 in the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre with an overarching theme With luck or skill? The conference program included plenary sessions with state-of-the-art keynotes, and several parallel tracks with a total of over 70 keynote and paper presentations. The conference was attended by over 800 participants, including many of the best-known Finnish project management practitioners.
