Message from GPMF Chairman
We’ll continue taking the lead in developing the project management profession in the kingdom
From the heart of Riyadh — the capital of ambition and transformation — we proudly hosted the fourth edition of the Global Project Management Forum (GPMF), welcoming over 21,000 registered attendees from more than 100 nationalities.
This year’s theme, “Next-Gen Project Management: The Power of People, Processes & Technology,” was more than a slogan it was a shared vision brought to life. GPMF 2025 united global leaders, rising innovators, and elite professionals in a powerful celebration of progress, purpose, and partnership.
What began just four years ago as a national aspiration has now become the second largest forum of its kind in the world and the largest in the Middle East. Today, GPMF stands as a world-class platform that embodies Saudi Arabia’s leadership in transformation through innovation, professionalism, and human capital.
This year’s forum marked a defining moment with the launch of the first Innovation Center for Project Management in the region , a bold step toward future-proofing our profession through creativity, collaboration, and applied excellence. We also expanded our international partnerships, championed youth and women in leadership, and reinforced the Kingdom’s role as a hub for global project leadership.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all our partners, speakers, exhibitors, volunteers, and attendees. You are the pulse behind this movement and together, we are not only witnessing change; we are leading it.
In Saudi Arabia, we do not wait for the future … we manage it.
