Consulta o e-Book.
Over the last few years, the PMI Portugal Conference has been much more than just an event. It has been a meeting point for ideas, people, and emotions that challenge us to grow—as professionals, leaders, and a community.
In 2026, we will take another step in this journey with the theme “Intelligence.” An invitation to reflect on how we think, decide, collaborate, and lead in a world that is increasingly complex, technological, and human at the same time.
Intelligence manifests itself in teams that trust each other, in decisions supported by data, in empathy that strengthens leadership, in creativity that comes from art, in technology that enhances human capabilities, and in awareness that guides sustainability. It is this intelligence, in all its forms, that we want to explore—together.
Once again, the conference will be a space for active learning, genuine sharing, and human connection. A place where stories inspire, perspectives intersect, and experiences are transformed into applicable knowledge. Where we leave not only more informed, but more aware of our role as project management professionals.
As in previous editions, we reinforce the spirit of community that characterizes us. Because it is through collaboration, diversity of thought, and active participation that we build smarter projects and a more sustainable future.
Participating in the PMI Portugal 2026 Conference is an investment in yourself, your career, and the community that helps shape project management in Portugal.
Save the date in your calendar for October 17 and 18, 2026. Let’s continue to shape the future of project management together at the next PMI Portugal Conference.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Good things happen when we get involved with PMI Portugal.
And in 2026, we will do it with Intelligence.
Who is this conference for?
The PMI Portugal 2026 – Intelligence Annual Conference is for anyone who believes that successful projects start with smart decisions and conscious leadership:
- Project managers and project management professionals who want to deepen their technical, human, and strategic skills, expand their network of contacts, and stay at the forefront of emerging trends. It is also an opportunity to earn PDUs to maintain PMI certifications.
- Students and future project managers are interested in understanding the multiple dimensions of modern project management, exploring topics such as leadership, technology, collaboration, and social impact.
- Leaders, managers, and decision-makers seeking new perspectives on how to apply intelligence—human and artificial—to lead teams, products, and organizations in changing contexts.
- Professionals from any field involved in projects who wish to strengthen their communication, critical thinking, decision-making, and complexity management skills.
If you believe that intelligence goes beyond technology—and that leading projects is, above all, about understanding people, contexts, and possibilities, this conference is for you.
And to reflect further about WHY, discover below how this conference is aligned with the PMI culture values:
We set the standard in top quality work to create the greatest impact for the PMI community. We lead the way by thinking long-term and acting in the short-term. We fearlessly take ownership of what we do, knowing every action counts.
We create genuine belonging for all, because our differences make us stronger. We act with humanity, showing care, empathy and respect for others’ needs. We assume good intent and seek to understand, not judge.
We are always seeking ways to better serve the PMI community. We see challenges as opportunities to innovate and take them. We feel able to fail fast in order to get it right.
We build deep, trusting relationships that help us work towards our mission together. We use our shared purpose to unite us as a community and drive us forward to create impact. We act in alignment with our global goals, while being empowered to deliver locally.
We are easy to deal with. When things slow us down, we find a better way. We prioritize the impact that matters most and take the most direct route to it..
