Project managers must take actions in their work and daily life to contribute to a sustainable future. The IPMA 2019 World Congress will be a milestone in internationally recognized Project Management congresses, with an academic program and exchange of experiences from the highest level of the world, in a location closely linked to sustainable development.

The Winners of the IPMA Global Project Excellence Awards, and IPMA Global Individual Awards will be announced. Project Managers, project teams and organisations from all over the world will be called on stage to acknowledge their project management successes. After the official programme you will have the opportunity to meet and congratulate all Winners and celebrate with them.
