PMI Central Ohio Chapter

🚨 Project professionals: If you could invest in ONE day of professional development this year, make it this one.

PDD 2026 is coming—and registration is open.

This isn’t just another conference. It’s a full day designed to help you become a better project professional, stronger leader, and more adaptable problem-solver—while earning valuable PDUs and connecting with people who do the same work you do.

And we’ve built an exceptional lineup.

🎤 OPENING KEYNOTE: Susan Powter
“Survival Is a Skill: What No One Tells You About Resilience”
The legendary creator of Stop the Insanity! brings her unforgettable energy and hard-earned perspective to one of the most important skills professionals need today: resilience.

🎤 AFTERNOON KEYNOTE: Melissa Boggs
“Hidden Cultures: Why Good Organizations Stay Stuck”
Why do good teams and organizations sometimes struggle to move forward—even when everyone knows change is necessary?

Melissa Boggs will challenge you to look beneath the surface at the hidden cultures influencing your organization, your teams, and your results.

And between those keynotes, you’ll have a full day of practical sessions covering:
🔹 AI & the future of project management
🔹 Leadership & resilience
🔹 Agile & iterative delivery
🔹 High-performing teams
🔹 Influence, trust & momentum
🔹 Delegation & empowered teams
🔹 Third-party risk
🔹 Construction project management
🔹 And much more

You’ll leave with new ideas, new connections, and practical insights you can put to work immediately.
