Q: How can the project profession contribute to a better, more sustainable future?

A: Our jam-packed conference programme breaks down the problem into three key areas: People, Innovation and Practice.

Delegates can choose the sessions that matter to them! Don’t forget, two-day ticket holders can re-watch session recordings on-demand afterwards, so you won’t miss a thing.

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. 

Expect sessions on:  

Knowledge Skills and Competencies that empower teams to adopt sustainable practices 

The role of the project sponsor in driving sustainability in projects 

DEIB in the workforce of the future 

Professionalising projects – the impact of CPOs 
   

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.

Expect sessions on:  

New technology to deliver projects more sustainably

How inclusive design can influence a project’s future impact

The emergence of regenerative practices

How to work with supply chains to measure and improve sustainability
   

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. 

Expect sessions on:  

Managing stakeholder sustainability expectations

How to embed sustainability into the project life cycle

How to measure success in sustainability initiatives

Mitigating global impacts – resource scarcity, rising costs of materials etc
