PMIWDC 2026 Annual Conference

The future of project leadership is calling and it’s time to go beyond what we’ve always done.

At the PMIWDC 2026 Annual Conference, taking place on October 2–3, 2026, at the J.W. Marriott Reston Station, we’re not just talking about project success—we’re redefining it.

Under the theme “Designing What’s Next | Delivering Innovation,” this year’s event challenges project professionals to look past traditional approaches and explore bold, innovative paths that unlock greater impact and sustainable outcomes.

Over two inspiring days, attendees will experience:

•  Game-changing keynotes from visionary leaders transforming industries.
   
•  Interactive workshops and sessions that challenge the status quo.
   
•  Vibrant networking opportunities with fellow project changemakers.
   
•  The inaugural PMIWDC Gala—a night honoring excellence in project management.
   

Join us in the heart of Reston VA, and be part of the momentum where project leadership meets vision, action, and impact.
