About

The goal of the PDMA Carolinas chapter is to help businesses increase and realize their innovation potential. The chapter brings its community value by providing opportunities to learn new ideas, approaches, and best practices from world-class organizations as well as to network with peers through events and meetings throughout the year where the users (new product development practitioners), not just keynote speakers and gurus, take center stage.  For more information on the chapter, visit www.pdma.org/carolinas.
