PMI Poland Chapter Poznań Branch

What PMI Poland Chapter Poznań Branch does

PMI Poland Chapter Poznań Branch is one of 13 regional branches of PMI Poland Chapter (Stowarzyszenie PMI Poland Chapter), a non-profit professional association registered in Warsaw that operates as the Polish chapter of the global Project Management Institute (PMI). The organization serves project management professionals across Poland, providing access to globally recognized PMI certifications (PMP, CAPM), the Polish edition of the PMBOK Guide, and a portfolio of professional development programs including the PMP Study Group, Disciplined Agile resources, the Mentoring Program, the WiPM (Women in Project Management) initiative, and the Transformation Team. The chapter is governed by an 11-member volunteer Board of Directors elected for two-year terms, with day-to-day operations executed by volunteers across regional branches.

The branch network organizes an annual International Congress (the 21st edition scheduled for November 19-20, 2026 in Warsaw), monthly seminars in cities such as Wrocław (58+ documented) and Szczecin (30+ since 2015), workshops, and PDU-earning events. The chapter does not develop technology products; its core offering is knowledge, standards, credentials, and community-driven professional development. Distribution is split between in-person regional branches and online channels including webinars, the redesigned pmi.org.pl website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and the Strefa PMI quarterly publication.

The revenue model is membership-dues based (subscription/recurring), supplemented by event ticket sales (typically 35-79 PLN for members, freemium for PMP Study Group), publication sponsorships (Hadrone as Platinum Sponsor, Inprogress, SoftServe, Whitecom), and corporate partnerships (Casus Iuris for legal, Taxxo, REC/GlobalLogic). Members gain access to the global PMI network, PMBOK, discounts on local and global events, and participation in SIGs and mentoring programs. The chapter is member-supported rather than equity-owned, with no public listing, no funding rounds, and a 1-10 employee headcount.
