The 24-hour virtual project management conference
Delivering Value for the People
Some of the world's finest speakers in project management await you. They speak pro bono for a common purpose: Delivering Value to the People.
On February 6, 2023, Türkiye* and Syria got shattered by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. We watched devastating news with a broken heart: Destroyed cities, thousands of people under the rubble, and multiple innocent victims, among them many children who lost their homes and families.
The PMI Ukraine Chapter initiated the Talk around the Clock conference. Ukrainians apprehend what it means for a nation to endure pain and losses. They asked Oliver F. Lehmann from Germany for help, one of the organizers of the 1st Talk around the Clock in 2022, and together, they formed the project team for this charity event.
The Talk around the Clock virtual conference crowdfunds money for people in need. As Ukraine received support to overcome the challenges of the war and stay vital, they pay it forward and help others.
All speakers and other contributors come pro-bono. The full revenue goes to UNICEF's help program, which focuses on the weakest of all victims: The 850,000 displaced children.
We have support from several PMI chapters and welcome promoting partners and corporate donors.
PMI-certified project managers can claim 1 PDU per hour of attendance, 24 PDUs maximum.
* Türkiye was formerly known as Turkey.
The donations made for the Talk around the Clock event are transferred in full to UNICEF*.
We will do this in compliance with PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, Article 2.2.3:
"We fulfill the commitments that we undertake – we do what we say we will do."
Due diligence matters. The PMI Ukraine Chapter and Oliver F. Lehmann as its cooperation partner guarantee the correct handling of these amounts. Furthermore, we invite all donors to audit the payment flow after the transfer to UNICEF.
For questions (e.g. PDUs, tax-deductable receipts), please consult the FAQs or contact us directly.
*: A minor deduction will be made by the payment provider to cover their transfer expenses.
The virtual conference begins April 14, 10 AM UTC.
It will proceed over 24 hours until April 15, 10 AM UTC:

Preliminary content:
How can project managers contribute to the public good?
"A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result." (PMBOK Guide 7th Ed., p. 245)
When projects bring about changes, there is hope that these changes will improve people's lives. However, the change they cause is often detrimental to individuals, organizations, and society. Change may be damaging to the environment we depend on. Sometimes, a project benefits a small minority while hurting everyone else.
What can project managers do to ensure that their projects are beneficial to the greater good?
