As part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the Project Management Institute – Ottawa Valley Chapter (PMI OVOC), we are proud to host the inaugural Project Management Symposium in Kingston, Ontario in partnership with the Kingston Branch. This milestone event recognizes four decades of leadership, innovation, and resilience – while embracing the vibrant and uniquely collaborative project management ecosystem that defines Kingston today.

“The Stories Told, The Futures Built” invites project professionals, thought leaders, industry partners, and public sector changemakers to reflect on the journeys that have shaped us, and the strategic foresight required to navigate what lies ahead.

This symposium explores how storytelling, lived experience, and data converge to inform agile leadership, inclusive planning, and bold execution. From addressing uncertainty to advancing industry collaboration, this gathering challenges us to turn insight into action and projects into policy, partnerships, and progress.

Together, we’ll honour the past with clarity, tackle today’s complex problems with confidence, and build futures that are resilient, connected, and impactful.

Join us this October in Kingston as we celebrate 40 years of delivering value through projects, honouring the legacy of leadership, and building a roadmap for the next generation of project managers.
