PMI® members and nonmembers are encouraged to submit proposals to present a topic at a PMI Global Congress. Because the number of presentations staged at any event is limited, and the number of submissions is high, the presentations chosen are held to the highest standards. The selection process is guided by a committee of members which includes community of practice and additional member Subject Matter Experts who review and score each submission.

There are two processes required for submitting a proposal.
If you have never submitted a proposal previously you will need to create a personal profile. This is a one-time process that creates a file containing your contact information, resume and curriculum vitae. NO ACTUAL SUBMISSIONS SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THIS RECORD. Once you have created your profile you will have access to the proposal submission site for a specific congress. Personal profiles should be checked and updated frequently to assure that contact information is correct.
If you already have a personal profile please review the linked pages below as some submission requirements have changed and be sure to review your profile, especially your email and cell phone number, to assure the information is up to date.
Access to your record is through your pin number. If you have forgotten your pin number, click forgot your password on the login page. The link will use the e-mail address currently in your record. If your e-mail has changed, contact congressspeakers@pmi.org and request your e-mail address be updated.
The ability to forward a submission to a new congress is limited.
No presentation can be considered if it:
- was initially proposed more than 1 year prior to a current congress (e.g. a presentation initially proposed on or before the February 2009 congress may not be submitted for a congress in February 2011);
- has been submitted or already presented to 2 congresses in a congress year.
- did not reach at least an average 75% score of "strongly agree, agree" on the following two questions on their previous session evaluation forms:
- Overall, I was satisfied with the presenter(s)
- Overall, I was satisfied with this session
- if in the past two years the presenter received less than 50% score of "strongly agree, agree" on the question "The session was informational and not sales focused"
If you wish to forward a submission to a new congress you MUST verify the area of focus especially as some areas of focus have changed. You should also update the Knowledge Area, Community of Practice and Special Knowledge/Credential check boxes.
Failure to adhere to submission requirements will delay, and may deny any consideration of your submission. Instructions on how to forward are available on the submission web site.
As a nonprofit professional organization, PMI does not provide honoraria for presenters. All Speakers are also required to cover their own travel and hotel expenses and register using speaker registration processes for attending the event.
