The PMI community is shocked and saddened by the suffering and loss of life experienced by the people of Türkiye and Syria. This devastating earthquake has impacted so many, and the harsh winter brings further hardship.

The conference will be opened by Pierre Le Manh, PMI CEO and President and after a 24-hour marathon session be closed by Oivier Lazar, PMI Vice-President for Youth and Social Impact.
