Attending the Global Project Management Forum 2025 (GPMF25) in Riyadh was nothing short of inspiring. The event brought together thought leaders, pioneers, and professionals from around the globe to discuss the future of project management — and I was truly honored to be among them.
A Meeting of Minds
One of the highlights of the forum was the opportunity to meet and engage with some of the most influential figures in the field:
- Badr Burshaid (بدر بورشيد) – President of the PMI KSA Chapter (معهد إدارة المشاريع فرع المملكة العربية السعودية). His vision and leadership continue to shape the future of project management in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
- Lee R. Lambert – A true legend and Project Management Institute Ambassador. With decades of impact on the discipline, speaking with Lee was a career-defining moment for me.
- Dr. Hasan Tayyeb, P.Eng, PE, PMP, RMP, PBA, ACP, P3O, PPL – Executive Board Member of PMI KSA Chapter. His breadth of certifications and passion for the profession made every discussion deeply enriching.
Meaningful Connections
The forum was also an excellent platform for knowledge exchange and networking. I had the pleasure of connecting with fellow professionals including:
Each conversation offered unique perspectives and fresh ideas, reinforcing the power of global collaboration in advancing our profession.
A Catalyst for Growth
GPMF25 served as a powerful reminder of the impact that shared experiences and open dialogue can have on our field. The insights I gained and the relationships I formed will undoubtedly influence my journey ahead.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a dynamic event and look forward to contributing to the evolving project management landscape with renewed energy and inspiration.
