Prof. Dr. Çetin ELMAS
President of Project Management Association Turkey

It is our great pleasure to be hosting the 24^th IPMA World Congress 2010 in İstanbul. The new realities in the world economy present both challenges and opportunities, and both must be addressed if we are to fulfil the objective of benefit.

Looking to the future and considering whether the business of project management is likely to change, the level of professionalism applied to projects must improve. We believe that this is the right time to pause for thought and reflect on these important issues.

The 24^th IPMA World Congress 2010 will be a good opportunity for Project Management Specialist, getting together from all over the world and sharing experiences and knowledge with the latest project and practice.

Hoping to see you in Turkey on the occasion of the 24^th IPMA World Congress 2010 in Istanbul.

See you in Istanbul.
