With the theme ‘Next-Gen Project Management: The Power of People, Processes, and Technology’, GPMF 2025 brings together government officials, industry pioneers, innovators, and global thought leaders to shape the future of project delivery in a rapidly evolving world. Taking place at the Fairmont Riyadh from May 17 to 19, the event will spotlight AI, giga-projects, and next-generation leadership.
“Saudi Arabia is not only delivering some of the most ambitious projects globally—it is cultivating the talent and building the systems that will shape the future of the profession. GPMF is more than a gathering—it is a platform of influence, leadership, and vision.”
said Eng. Badr Burshaid, Chairman of the Global Project Management Forum.
A powerhouse of learning and global exchange
The forum opens with a full day of premium masterclasses and advanced workshops on May 17, offering in-depth training on emerging methodologies, leadership strategies, and digital tools.
Over the following two days (May 18–19), GPMF will feature keynote speeches, expert panels, interactive breakout sessions, and a large-scale exhibition. Sessions will focus on topics such as artificial intelligence in project planning, giga-project execution, sustainable transformation, and digital innovation—highlighting how project professionals are redefining impact in today’s complex world.
A platform where strategy meets innovation
