Project Community in Action: Highlights from IPMA Congress 2025
What does the project manager of 2035 look like? On May 21, 2025, over 400 project professionals gathered at De Reehorst in Ede to explore this very question during the annual IPMA-NL Congress, a day dedicated to the future of project management, with powerful themes like AI, sustainability, and the evolution of leadership at its core.
Keynote speakers Deborah Nas and Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag opened the day with big-picture insights on innovation and strategic project thinking. Attendees then joined a series of breakout sessions led by experts from a range of industries, sparking deep dives and rich discussions throughout the afternoon.
Capping off the event, Professor Erik Scherder delivered a high-energy keynote that fused neuroscience with motivation, reminding everyone that the right mindset is a game-changer for any transformation. The day closed with networking activities over drinks, offering a chance to unwind and connect in good company.
With IPMA, PMI, and BPUG members all under one roof, the event was a powerful reminder of what a connected project community can achieve. We look forward to continuing the conversation on October 10th at the PMI BeNeLux Summit 2025 in Maastricht, see you there!
