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 crisisresource 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? 

Is this conference for me?  

Our aim is to be the go-to conference for all project professionals worldwide, no matter what career level, sector or role you represent. Even if your job title doesn’t have ‘project’ in it, if you work on projects of any size and kind, there’ll be something for you at our conference.  

Our conference is for: 

  • Anyone involved in the management of projects who wants to upskill, get practical tools and contribute to the conversation about the issues that matter in their daily work.  
  • APM members and non-members who want to earn CPD, invest in their career and broaden their community network. 
  • Leaders keen to learn how the power of projects contributes to organisational success.  

Conference themes

Why should I attend? 

We understand it’s sometimes challenging to justify time away from your desk to attend events. But the APM Conference is something special.

With upwards of 500 like minded delegates to network with, more than 30 speakers to be inspired by, and a packed two-day programme of valuable content (plus on-demand recordings post-event for two day ticket holders) it’s a truly unmissable experience.
