Keynote speaker for the PMI® Global Congress 2010—Asia Pacific in Melbourne will be Mr. Scott Berkun (pictured), former Microsoft executive and best selling author of "The Myths of Innovation" and "Making Things Happen". Mr. Berkun formerly worked as a program manager at Microsoft, and was involved in the development of Internet Explorer 1.0 to 5.0. Scott poses the question, "What can project managers learn from great innovations, and what great innovators, notorious for betting big on intuition alone, learn from professional project managers?" His fun, high energy talk will explore these tough questions and more, including offering inspiring ideas by going beyond the myths of management and creative thinking.

The conference will include other high level speakers, professional presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities. Project management professionals and executives of project-oriented organizations are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn, network, meet PMI leaders, and advance their organizations' interests at this global event. www.pmi.org/AP10.
