PMI Global Summit Series Africa 2025 is set to return to Rwanda from August 19 to 21, 2025, at the Kigali Convention Centre. This event was postponed in 2024 and it marks a significant milestone in the project management landscape in Africa.
As the only event of its kind in Africa, the Summit will bring together key stakeholders, industry leaders, executives, and government representatives to shape the future of project management. The event promises to foster collaboration, innovation, and skills development, with an expanded agenda featuring expert-led discussions and enhanced engagement for project professionals.
With the theme: “Africa On Purpose: Gather. Grow. Guide,” the Summit will advance project management’s role in Africa’s development.
“The decision to return to Rwanda was a natural one, as the country reflects key values that drive successful project management—innovation, resilience, and a commitment to progress,” said George Asamani, Managing Director, PMI Sub-Saharan Africa.
He added: “We also wanted to honour our commitment to project professionals in Rwanda and ensure that the efforts of the community in organising PMI Global Summit Series Africa were not in vain. In fact, their work has laid an even stronger foundation for a Summit that will be more impactful, relevant, and future-focused than ever before.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops and masterclasses, equipping them with practical skills to navigate the complexities of modern-day projects.
PMI Global Summit Series Africa will also feature AI-focused educational sessions, immersive activities, and exclusive learning and networking opportunities.
Additionally, attendees will gain firsthand insights into the newest certifications and professional development opportunities from PMI, ensuring they remain competitive and prepared for the future of work.
“We are excited to bring this truly global experience to professionals in the region, providing them with access to world-class insights, expertise, and networking opportunities that will empower them to drive impactful change in their industries and communities,” says Innocent Kayigamba, President, PMI Rwanda Chapter.
PMI Global Summit Series Africa will also feature a dedicated Youth Edition, aimed at equipping the next generation of project leaders with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in the professional world. Designed for students, young professionals, and emerging leaders, this edition will offer tailored sessions focusing on leadership skills, career development, and the role of project management in driving innovation and entrepreneurship.
