GPMF 2025 in Numbers

The Global Project Management Forum is the flagship forum for the project management profession. At this annual event, GPMF brings together the most influential global community of project managers and diverse stakeholders for a two day comprehensive event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Message from GPMF Chairman

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.
