The Emerging Professionals Network EPN
The Association for Project Management (APM) is doing even more to support new talent entering the profession, by running a series of events for its Emerging Professionals Network; a community of APM Student and Associate members at the start of their project careers.
The Emerging Professionals Network (EPN) series of interactive events takes place throughout October 2022 in Leeds, London and Brighton. These events will provide insight into working in projects. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the panels of established practitioners specific project management questions.

Caspar Bartington, Head of Volunteer and Education Engagement at APM, said: “Partnering with these universities and corporate members enables us to provide key resources for emerging professionals. These events play an important role in the development of project knowledge and will bring value for their careers and personal growth. I’d recommend that for anyone that’s starting out in project management, or if you’re curious and would like to understand more about the project profession, to take advantage of these free events.”
