Washington DC Metro Area Chapter

Professional services in fields such as accounting, architecture, consulting, engineering and law don't sell themselves. Marketing such services is a highly specialized skill.

PM Forum helps professional firms raise their abilities to market themselves.

We offer educational programs, networking opportunities and a chance to learn from other firms' experience in this challenging field. Through their involvement, marketers at all levels, partners and fee-earners can gain leading edge ideas, benchmark their efforts, and become more effective and stronger in what they do.

The membership base is diverse. It includes all types of professional firms - accounting, architecture, consulting, design, engineering and law, and consultants and suppliers to the sector. The individuals attracted to PM Forum events are likewise diverse - chief marketing officers, marketing directors, marketing managers and coordinators, and fee-earning professionals with an interest or remit in, marketing and business development..

As a membership organisation, only members of the Forum, or regional employees of firms that are members nationally are eligible to attend our events and benefit from other features such as the monthly magazine professional marketing, the online Article Bank and Job Bank.
