PMWest 2026, the Project Management Conference, convenes in Vancouver, Canada from 5 November 2026 to 6 November 2026, marking another edition for the sector. It connects specialists, practitioners and industry leaders, and has grown into a key date on the sector's calendar. The annual format gives organisers time to raise the bar with every return. Expect to join around 450 attendees over the course of the event. The event is organised by Project Management Institute, bringing proven expertise in delivering world-class gatherings. This year's edition calls Vancouver Convention Centre home.

Choosing Vancouver as the host city gives PMWest 2026 a real sense of place. Visitors get the dual benefit of a focused professional programme and a destination worth exploring. Vancouver is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in Canada is rarely a hassle. Places to stay are plentiful, and picking one near the venue keeps your mornings short and your options open.

Attendees can dive into Project Management, Pmp Certification, Program Management, Professional Development, Project Leadership and Business Services & Professional through curated talks, live demonstrations and hands-on showcases. Highlights include keynote presentations, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. Meeting the right people is half the point, and the schedule is built to make that happen.

A few focused days here can save months of trial and error back at the desk. Whether you attend to learn, present or connect, PMWest 2026 offers a valuable platform for leaders, learners and everyone in between.

*Attendees can earn up to 16 PDUs toward PMP or CAPM certification.
