Procept Associates Ltd. and the Project Management Association of Canada (PMAC) are the primary sponsors and organizers of the International Project Management Day celebrations in Toronto. This 1-day mini-conference takes place on the first Thursday of November each year, in celebration of the contributions that the project management profession makes to society. Procept has been sponsoring this annual event since 2015 and it is just one way that Procept gives back to the PM community in gratitude for helping to make Procept a success.
In addition, for several years, the final round of the PM Paper Competition was held during this event. Students of project management at the college or university level competed for cash and prizes by writing research papers analyzing real-world projects. Shortlisted teams were invited to deliver a brief presentation on their papers and answer questions from a panel of judges and a live audience. Teams were marked on both the content of their presentations and how well they respond to questions. Winners received accolades and scholarships as prizes.
