The team will present a program sharing their insights and perspectives uniquely inspired by a Danish approach and will highlight:

• How Adapt Agency Americas grew their PM practice and how it will continue to grow
• How to develop an active culture of support for virtual and hybrid teams
• Tips for and experiences with working with global units
• The application of transformational thinking in client and project relationships
• The emerging role of project management in community organizing

The program and Q & A session will be led by Adapt Agency America’s talented project management practice:

• Sophia Inman, Senior Project Manager
• Keisha Card, Project Manager

We look forward to seeing you on the 27^th!
