Projecting the Future: From Accidental to Intentional Project Leadership
Date: Thursday, July 23

Project leadership no longer follows a single path — and the future belongs to those who lead with intention.

Join professionals from across industries, and Keynote speaker Danielle Roberts, for HU's annual Center for Project Management Innovation conference exploring how project leaders are evolving from accidental roles into strategic, value-driven leaders.

Lead projects. Shape value. Project the future.

During this conference, we will explore:

The Accidental Advantage: Diverse Paths into Project Leadership
The Project Manager as a Value Architect
Human + AI: The Future of Project Human-in-the-loop leadership and ethical use of AI
Consensus Building, Influence, and Stakeholder Alignment
Tech-Forward and Experiential Project Management

Why Attend In Person?
While virtual attendance is available, onsite attendees will experience the full energy of PMIC 2026 — including networking opportunities, interactive lunch discussions, special technology demonstrations throughout the day, and our end-of-day networking social. Some conversations, connections, and ideas are simply better experienced in person.
