On the second day, Carey Lohrenz
delivered an inspiring presentation

you need three building blocks: purpose,

It’s a Wrap
Following this closing session, all
participants were invited to the exhibit
hall for a combined networking event.
The new PMI podcast was introduced
live and on stage. This networking
event was filled with participants from
the LIM and Global Conference—old
friends connecting and making new
acquaintances. The photos, selfies and
chatting were constant and with high
energy. Soon the time came to move
on to the PMI Professional Awards
Ceremony venue, and as people
exited the Exhibit Hall, the lights
were officially turned out on a most
