Intelligence in Action

The PMI Portugal 2026 – Intelligence conference program has been carefully designed to reflect the multiple dimensions of intelligence applied to project management, maintaining alignment with the PMI® Talent Triangle – Ways of Working, Business Acumen, and Entrepreneurial Skills – and responding to the challenges of an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Our goal is to empower project managers, leaders, and students to make more informed decisions, collaborate more effectively, and lead with awareness, adaptability, and impact. By exploring human, emotional, artificial, collective, and creative intelligence, we promote new ways of thinking, working, and generating sustainable value.

The program includes inspiring keynotes, expert panels, and practical sessions that will address topics such as intelligence in teams, data, products, communication, sustainability, Agile, PMO, and communities. Each session is designed to stimulate critical thinking, experience sharing, and applied learning.

We will also have interactive formats, guided networking moments, and collaborative dynamics that encourage active participation, creativity, and the co-creation of solutions for real project management challenges

Join us and together we will explore how Intelligence can elevate the practice of project management and prepare us to lead with greater clarity, empathy, and impact.
