Chief Project Officer Summit 2026 (CPO 2026)

About the Event

Organizations recognize the importance of projects for their success, making effective project management a top priority. For professionals, excelling in project delivery is a proven path to advancement, and project management offers a dynamic and rewarding career. With technological advancements like AI, the skills taught at this summit are uniquely suited to tackle challenges like VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) and resistance to technology replacement.

While much emphasis has been placed on soft and hard project management skills, they alone are not enough for those aspiring to reach executive levels. This summit takes an integrated approach, addressing creative, human-centric, and strategic skills alongside traditional ones. It builds on research by our CEO, Dr. Te Wu, published in The Journal of Business Strategy, highlighting 20 key disciplines for aspiring top executives.

Until now, there has been no dedicated platform for project professionals to network, learn, and grow these essential skills. Whether you’re starting your journey or well on your way, this summit provides the insights and tools to help you rise to the top of the project management career ladder and achieve the role of Chief Project Officer.
