Previous Forums
The forum was originally conceived in June 2002, and started with a meeting hosted by the City of Toronto. The first gathering brought out fifteen people from the cities of Toronto, Mississauga, and Kingston, and the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Business Services. In recent years, the forum has attracted between 70 and 120 project management practitioners from the public sector who share lessons learned, tools, templates, and proven innovative solutions.
