From September 17-19, 2025, the international project management community will meet in Berlin for the IPMA World Congress, the most important global event for project management professionals. Keynote speeches, specialist presentations, practical examples, case studies and scientific contributions will shed light on the central role of projects and project management in overcoming global challenges. This year’s event also celebrates the 60th anniversary of the International Project Management Association (IPMA).
The International Project Management Association (IPMA) will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2025 with the “Era of Modern Project Management” reflecting on six decades of innovation and progress in project management. Since its founding in 1965, IPMA has grown from a small group of experts to a global organisation with members in over 70 countries. Over the decades, it has set countless standards, trained professionals worldwide, and raised awareness of the importance of professional project management across all industries. This 60th anniversary is a milestone we’re excited to celebrate, while also looking ahead to the future of sustainable project management.
After all, projects are the driving force behind innovation, change and sustainable progress. Professional project management creates solutions for global challenges - in business, society and the environment. Let's shape the future together!
