It is a great privilege and honour for SPMP to receive the responsibility of the Congress organization. The significant fact, which influenced this decision, was that our Association is one of the most active IPMA national organization. Due to the fact that Project Management exceeds beyond business scope and it is applied in public projects, the motto of the Congress in Cracow is: "Project Management the essential reality for business and government". These two areas, business and government are currently the drivers of Project Management development. The Congress in Cracow is visited by guests from more than 50 countries representing different business branches and areas of public sector and science. During these few days the Congress in Kraków becomes the centre of Project Management! I strongly believe that IPMA World Congress Cracow 2007 shall not only allow Polish participants to make acquaintance with the achievements and experience of the most luminary foreign PM professionals, but also You, our dear foreign Guests shall have possibility to learn about Polish culture and meet wonderful people. I wish a fruitful and nice stay in Cracow to all of You. Stanisław Sroka Chairman World Congress Cracow 2007 & President of SPMP It is my pleasure and honour, to welcome you all to the IPMA World Congress 2007. The program is one of the best of all times. As the conference is arranged in Poland, there is special emphasis on economic transformation, EU projects and government & public sector. Our Congress is the place where the "great minds" in project management share their ideas and best practices with all the participants. Our Special Guest will be President Lech Wałesa, Legendary Leader of the Solidarity Trade Union, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 1983 and President of Poland 1990-1995. The academic world is well represented, led by Prof. Rodney Turner and Prof. Peter Morris, both coming from the UK. This means that we will surely hear of new directions in the field of project management. The major events of the conference include the International Project Excellence Award, IPMA Nation to Nation Forum and the Young Crew Workshop. All of these events are truly global and international by nature. All of this means that Cracow is the centre point of the project management profession during June 2007. The IPMA World Congress is an excellent place for creating new connections and meeting old friends.

If we can believe the chronicle - Prince Krak founded historical city around 700. Cracow acquired new principles in 1257 and in this way it got into a big family of European Cities.

In the course of time city played a significant political, ecclesiastical and economical part. Thanks to the jubilee celebrated in this month, Cracow will become "theatre stage". Many cultural events will take place, which will show rich cultural heritage of Cracow. Venue Public Private Partnership 31 Jagiellonian University The oldest University in Poland and also one of the oldest in Europe is located in Cracow. Remarkable is fact that it belongs to the one of the biggest and the best Academy in Poland and Europe. He was founded in 1364 by Kazimierz Wielki - king of Poland. In 19th century University was named Jagiellonski to accent his relation with this dynasty. In 1939 when The Second World War started the University had the most difficult period in history. Occupants invited Professors under the pretext of lecture and exiled them to concentration camp. During the War Academy was closed and its equipment was damaged but in spite of this tragic situation, about 1000 students were educated on "Secret Jagiellonian University". After the War Academy were functioning under pressure of Stalinism regime and afterwards the transformation of political system in 1989 let University get back the autonomy.
