"Delivering the dream" will bring together expert speakers plus project and business leaders to examine the importance of leadership in ensuring successful outcomes for projects.

APM's ambitious, challenging and radical Strategy 2020 reflects what society expects: a world in which all projects succeed. The Scotland branch invites APM members and guests to join them for the annual Scottish Conference; a day of presentations and sessions focussed on local, Scottish projects and the success of strong project leadership therein.

"Leadership is the ability to establish vision and directions, to influence and align others towards a common purpose, and to empower and inspire people to achieve success" APM Body of Knowledge, 6th Edition

This year’s conference will deliver a blend of experience and knowledge from inspirational leaders of projects, programmes and portfolios.  Speakers will share their knowledge of pan-sector leadership and  delivering second-to-none projects.  We look forward to welcoming delegates from all areas of project management. 

The APM Scotland branch is also delighted to confirm that Scott Hastings, former Scottish rugby international and captain of the Scotland Sevens team, will be speaking after the Conference dinner. 

This year’s conference is at the home of Scottish rugby, so it is particularly appropriate that Scott will be on hand to lead guests on a journey through the trials and tribulations of leadership roles within sport, broadcasting, media and advertising, events and more. 

You can see full speaker biographies here. Plus keep an eye out for news of yet more speakers to be announced. 

Included in the conference price is a tour of Murrayfield Stadium which will be scheduled at the end of the conference.
