Welcome to the APM South Wales and West of England Network.

Who we are: 

We are a community of project professionals in the broad geographic region of South Wales and the West of England (SWWE). Our regional network offers resources, training and development opportunities, updates and networking events for professionals throughout the area.  

What we do: 

Our regional network hosts many events and networking sessions. We run the flag-ship annual South West Conference. This is the perfect place to meet, discuss and network with other project professionals in the area. Each month we hold events across the region; our main hub is in Bristol, but we also deliver events in other parts of South Wales and South West England. The Project Management Challenge is also something which we continue to be involved with; it brings significant benefits to participating emerging professionals and charities within our region 

Inclusion and diversity are important for us. We want to attract the next generation of project professionals and grow the representation of young people and women in our community. We feel this is important because new individuals bring different ways of working and different ways of thinking to our region and profession.  

Our diverse and inclusive community is comprised of project professionals working and based in the SWWE area. Our regional network offers a way for you to contribute to the profession locally. Joining us will give you more access to learning materials and guidance on future career paths and development; we also offer support for professionals aiming to reach chartered status. 

There are various events, webinars and networking opportunities held throughout the year, and we are looking to expand our reach by doing more collaborative events with the regional networks that border ours. 

How to get involved: 

We are open to project professionals of any level located in the South Wales and West of England region.  

Simply follow us to stay up to date with the latest regional news, announcements, and activity.
