Today Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s
leading association for the project management profession,
launched the new Virtual Experience Series to introduce
professionals from all industries to innovative global voices
and energize them to bring big ideas to life.
This groundbreaking new series, which is open to the
public, connects participants with global innovators,
inspirational voices and project leaders who will deliver 40
power-packed sessions to help those who want to boost
their career or pivot to a new one. During the series,
participants can connect with peers, mentors, experts and
renowned public figures alike to gain insights on how to
move their careers and projects forward and embrace the
great potential and opportunity ahead of us.
Hosted by journalist, talk show host and executive
producer Tamron Hall, the series’ six virtual experiences
begin 29 July 2020 and continue through 9 December 2020.
The first live 4.5-hour experience, titled “The Individual: My
Work, My Life, My World” will feature renowned chef and
humanitarian José Andrés; author and The New York Times
podcast host Priya Parker; and more than 40 industry
experts who will inspire, inform, engage and entertain.
During the opening session, José Andrés will discuss how
he taps into his inner project manager to help feed the
world. In 2010, he formed World Central Kitchen, a non-
profit specializing in delivering food relief in the wake of
natural and humanitarian disasters. World Central Kitchen
has responded to dozens of disasters worldwide and
distributed tens of millions of meals. In response to COVID-
19, Andrés has partnered with restaurants, small farms and
community leaders worldwide to combat food insecurity.
