Project Management conferences to look out for in 2023

February 1, 2023 by Office Timeline

Top project management conferences in 2023

In 2023, with fewer pandemic restrictions, many of the popular PM conferences are back on track and offering in-person attendance once again. We’ve compiled a list of major project management gatherings, seminars, workshops and masterclasses announced so far, so you can start planning your attendance and hopefully land some early bird tickets.

Project Management Conferences 2023: a visual timeline

We created the Project Management Conferences 2023 timeline to give you a quick rundown of the most significant global events, along with the location and schedule, if it was announced by the organizers.

This visual was made with Office Timeline, a handy add-in for PowerPoint that could help you save a lot of time on your presentations.

Feel free to download it as a fully editable PowerPoint slide or static image, and refer to it when planning what conference to attend. We will strive to update it regularly when new announcements are made by the event planners.

3. Australian Institute of Project Management

The speakers will attempt to address topics like inter-organizational resource competition, the adverse effects of poor resource planning, AOP forecasting, the relevance of resource planning in Agile, and many others. You can already find the detailed agenda published online.  

We would like to note, however, that the RPS 2023 edition stays true to its philosophy of adding fun and excitement to the mix. Besides the impressive lineup of industry experts, networking opportunities and the up to 20 PDU credits that participants can earn, events like the Foodie Tour, a party at On the Record and a spectacular Cirque du Soleil KA show are also included.
