Why submit a paper to Roma WC? A message of Stacy Goff to ASAPM members.

Why submit a paper?
First of all, our ASAPM members and friends have done more to advance the state of Program and Project Management than any comparable group of people. Thus we have many valuable insights to share with other practitioners, based on our well-earned competences.

Secondly, paper presenters receive a discounted Congress admission fee.

Third, if you have not experienced the rapport and IPMA family spirit of the World Congress, you have really missed a key opportunity. While there are some great USA PM-related conferences (the ones we promote because of their great value), an IPMA World Congress stands out among all others.

Fourth, whether your next career growth opportunity will come from perfecting your communication skills in front of large groups, or by networking with people who have similar program and project management experiences, we all know that continually improving project performance competence is the key to success.

For those who submit a paper, here are some suggestions. First, the link at http://www.ipmaroma2008.it/call_for_papers.php gives you the details.

Next, here are some tips for formatting of your abstract, courtesy of our good friend Vladimir Voropaev, SOVNET President. He was commenting on a paper he reviewed:
"In my opinion, a theme interesting. But it is not an abstract, simply an application for the paper. In the abstract the problem should be designated. The purpose of the paper stated. Brief basic contents. Then conclusions formulated."

Vladimir's English is far better than my Russian; and, his insights are an excellent reminder.

So, for those of you who use an "Early as Possible" scheduling approach, you can still submit your paper by the end of next week. That will give the Congress Advisory Committee more time to review the Abstracts. For those who are "As Late as Possible" schedulers, you now have an extra 6 weeks or so for the impending March 15th deadline to juice up your creativity. I know, because that approach works well for me, too!
