pma focus 2026 – Austrias biggest project management congress

On October 15, 2026, pma focus will be all about the interplay between humans and machines in project management. Under the title "AI ENRICHED, HUMAN LED – Project Management in the AI Age," the event will explore opportunities, risks, and the question: Will this "team of the future" become the new formula for success in project management?

Experts explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work—from project strategies and roles to decision-making processes, leadership, and teamwork. What skills will the next generation of project managers need? And what happens when probability, emotion, and vision suddenly take the helm instead of logic and analysis?

We also address ethical and legal questions. How transparent are AI decisions? Who is responsible when errors occur? What data can be used to train AI?

In addition, companies will share insights into best practices and lessons learned from real-world AI projects, including stumbling blocks and success factors. Let’s take a look together at the future of project management, where the question may be: human intuition vs. algorithmic precision.

Look forward to Austria’s largest project management conference, featuring keynote speeches, real-world examples, workshops, and discussions, as well as plenty of opportunities for networking, professional development, and entertainment.

Please note that the congress takes place in german language only!

On October 16, 2025, Austria’s largest project management conference focused on the topic of dialogue. Under the theme “Dialogue Instead of Confrontation—Promoting Joint Solutions Through Project Management,” nearly 1,000 project managers—both in person and online—explored how they can build bridges—in projects, organizations, and society at large.
