PMI Switzerland is a project management membership organization chartered with PMI in 2001 and steadily growing ever since.

PMI Switzerland is not-for-profit and volunteer-driven. We organize regular events throughout Switzerland, actively promoting project management and allowing our members to engage with each other both professionally and casually.

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and industries, and celebrate the sharing of knowledge and experience to tackle common challenges and achieve project objectives. Our members build their professional network, gain knowledge, and have fun at the same time. To join us, click here.

Dear Friends and Members of PMI Switzerland,

As already announced at the Annual Assembly Meeting in Zürich, we will now host our events on Eventbrite (www.eventbrite.com), thereby launching some major improvements on our way to manage events. We are very excited to share with you more details below.

You will still access details about the events via our website. But once you indicate that you wish to register to one of them, you will be redirected to our Eventbrite page.

The registration is of course online, but also now allows you to pay online with your credit card or paypal. No need to bring cash at the door anymore! No need to wait in the queue! Just bring your ticket, either on paper or on your smartphone. The event team at the reception will simply scan it.

NOTE: It is important to access Eventbrite event page while logged in to our website to be recognized as a member if you want to benefit of the PMI-CH membership discount.

Few questions you might have:

• Do I need an eventbrite account to register?
  No you don’t. Anybody can purchase tickets on it. However having an account might just become handy if you regularly attend our events.
  
  
• After I pay for an event, can I cancel my registration?
  Yes you can. Until 5 days before the event you will be 100% reimbursed.
  
  
• What about my vouchers? I still have them on paper, but cannot use them online.
  Correct. Starting now, vouchers will be sent by email so you can use them online. If you still have paper ones, just bring one with you and you will be reimbursed of the amount.
  
  
• Can I still pay cash at the event like before?
  No, unfortunately we will not be able to accept any more cash payments. You will only be able to enter an event with a valid ticket bought through Eventbrite.

We hope you will appreciate this change. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.
