We invite you to join us at the 10th Annual International Program Office Summit (IPOS) as we return this year to beautiful Atlanta, Georgia. For over 10 years, IPOS has provided a unique and effective learning and networking environment to PMO professionals while at the same time, establishing the direction for program and portfolio management. This is your opportunity to learn from other program and portfolio professionals as they share their experiences and their proven tools and techniques for success. To provide a warm and effective learning environment, we are once again limiting the size of the conference to 50 professionals. This group of professionals will not include vendors and consultants, providing an atmosphere free of the sales pressures so common in other conferences.
Presentations will include:

Atlanta, the capital city of the southeast, a city of the f uture with strong ties to its past. The history of Atlanta is the soul of the city. Atlanta is home to the headquarters of world-wide recognized corporations such as Home Depot and Coca Cola. Atlanta proudly boasts having the world's largest aquarium and host of the Summer Olympics in 1996.
The Georgian Terrace Hotel
To be great, a city must have a grand hotel. As Atlanta came into its own in the 20th century, that hotel was the Georgian Terrace Hotel. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, crystal chandeliers and marbled columns, the Georgian Terrace represents Atlanta's southern elegance.
The Georgian Terrace has hosted very notable guests including President Calvin Coolidge, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Tallulah Bankhead. The Georgian Terrace hosted the premiere gala of Gone With the Wind. The Grand Ballroom has hosted concerts by legendary musicians such as Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. The Georgian Terrace is a member of the National Register of Historic Places.
