EVM Practitioners Forum & Training Workshops

Hyatt Regency Crystal City, Arlington VA

July 29 - 31, 2014

The EVMP forum is organized by EVM application users to share best practices and help others become more effective in their use of EVM tools, analysis, and reporting.

  • Who should attend:  Government and Industry Project Controls Managers, EVM Managers, EVM Application Users and Administrators.
  • Why attend:  Learn important information which will enable you and your organization to improve the use of EVM to manage projects; as well as comply with government and industry reporting requirements.

Last year’s EVMP forum was a success so this year we have added two tracks and additional training workshop options. The forum also enables some outstanding networking opportunities provided by our platinum and gold sponsors. You may choose the days which will provide the most value for you or register for multiple days.
