Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to host the seventh edition of the Dubai International Projects Management Forum (DIPMF) in collaboration with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and the Projects Management Institute (PMI).
 
The DIPMF would be held remotely from December 12 to 15 via virtual technology under the theme ‘Mapping the Future’.
 
RTA said it will employ edge-cutting technology to allow participants 3D interaction with the site of the forum and move between halls according to their wish.
"The exceptional health conditions engulfing the whole world caused by the Covid-19 pandemic were responsible for holding the seventh DIPMF in a different setting," remarked Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA.
 
"Yet, RTA will harness the latest communication technology to avail participants and attendees a unique experience through capitalising on visual interactive remote communication technologies, he stated.
 
“The theme (Mapping the Future) has been selected in line with the call of UAE leadership, designating the year 2020 as the year (Towards the Next 50),” said Al Tayer.
 
"The forum will discuss novel management concepts and project applications such as inspirational leadership, project management in a common economy, design thinking, agile project management, and future trends of project management," he stated.
 
"It will also discuss flexible transformation, benefits management, data science in project management, digital management, project management of large events, the future of smart mobility, hybrid project management, partner management, and blockchain applications in projects management, said Al Tayer.
 
"The forum will hold a series of specialist training courses in agile project management, project economics, future project management offices, Internet of Things and project management, and blockchain applications in projects management," he added.
 
Moaza Al Marri, the chairperson of the DIPMF Organising Committee, said over its past six editions, the forum proved extremely successful in terms of attracting scores of top international specialists and experts of projects management, hosting a bunch of prominent keynote speakers, and discussing an array of topics.
 
The forum held 26 sessions including 29 keynote addresses, 33 workshops, 13 case studies, 16 technical visits. The forum attracted more than 100,00 participants from 68 countries and 208 speakers of elite thinkers in the field of project management in the region and the world over, she added.-TradeArabia News Service
