Projects for a
Better Future
Our flagship conference covers the issues that matter to the project profession. Be part of the conversation.
APM’s celebrated flagship conference returns to Coventry on 11-12 June 2025. This year we’ll be discussing the urgent need for the project profession to respond to critical sustainability challenges, including the climate crisis, resource scarcity, and social inequity.
We’ll be exploring what Projects for a Better Future means through the lens of people, innovation and practice, and discovering what future trends may impact not only the types of projects that are delivered, but the way they are delivered. Expect two inspiring days of learning, networking and growth.

Keynote speaker - Ruud Veltenaar
Ruud Veltenaar is a philosopher, top international speaker, best-selling author and a faculty member at Nyenrode, where he is part of the Strategic Leadership Program, the Advanced Management Program and the ESG innovation Institute. He was also an Executive Member and Chairman of the Global Ethics Charter at Beyond Bretton Woods (an international think tank dedicated to designing a sustainable economic system that works for everyone, rather than the other way around).
Ruud has a background leading companies on almost every continent, from small to large and sometimes publicly traded. Furthermore, he has an impressive track record as a serial entrepreneur and impact investor. Among other things, he was (co) founder of Planet Internet (first Internet provider in Europe) and Parkmobile (world leader Parking App).
As an inspirer of transformation, Ruud provides clarity about the future and offers hope for a better world. Because let's face it, if we look outside, our world looks pretty restless. What else is coming our way and how can we connect with the upcoming, or even better, unleashed future? Where are the opportunities that we do not see now, nor take advantage of?
Conference themes
People: What knowledge, skills and competencies will be needed to ensure a sustainable workforce?
Project management sustainability practices won’t adapt without people driving change. But to manage this the workforce itself should be sustainable. Here we'll tackle two aspects: how practitioners can make positive change in this area now, and what skills are needed to fortify the profession for the future.
Innovation: What’s new and what’s needed for sustainable project delivery?
Innovation is crucial to ensure project outcomes and practices are sustainable. This theme will explore impactful ideas and tried-and-tested methods for improving sustainability in project management and delivering projects with sustainable outcomes.
Practice: How can project teams and organisations meet the need for more impactful action on climate change?
Creating and embedding sustainability strategies into the project life cycle is vital to ensure projects – and the project profession – is ready for future challenges. Here we discuss both project practice and broader organisational strategy with practical ideas about how to implement change in this area.
