Why this event matters

Kuwait Vision 2035 depends on delivering ambitious projects, and that delivery depends on people as much as on plans.

In the panel session Building Communities That Create Impact, a fireside chat on leadership, collaboration and the power of community, Chouaib Barnou, Head of Community for PMI in MENA, moderates a discussion of the leadership skills, collaboration and community needed to accelerate Kuwait Vision 2035 and create lasting impact.
