Karen Shotliff, Account Manager for Inogate and part of the Organising Committee presenting at PDMA España
On the 20th January 2011, I had the pleasure of being part of PDMA España’s very first event held in Madrid at the Tryp Cibeles Hotel.
The Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) is the global advocate for product development and management professionals and the mission is to improve the effectiveness of individuals and organisations in product development and management.
I first became involved in PDMA through Inogate where we sponsored events and was surprised that there had been no real network established in Spain where I am based. With the support of Christina Brodie (VP International Affiliates, Paolo Zanenga (Southern Europe Affiliate) and Gert Staal (Netherlands Affiliate) we then began to contact existing members based in Spain to start moving towards organising PDMA España’s first meeting.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and ready to help with the organisation which helped to the success of the first meeting of PDMA España and establishing itself in Spain.
This event proved to be an excellent platform to create a respected network of professionals, academics and service providers interested in promoting product development and management as a top priority in Spain. The next meeting and programme of PDMA España is already in development so I will keep you all updated! http://linkd.in/hH0Udx
