Discover the Hidden Powers of Project Success

What makes a project successful?

Is it the plan? The methodology? The technology?

Or is there something less visible—something that happens when the right people, leadership and ideas come together?

That is what we'll explore at PMI Madison's 2026 Professional Development Day: The Hidden Powers of Project Success: The Magic of Leadership.

This year, we're expanding PDD into a two-day experience at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, with opportunities to earn PDUs, learn from industry experts, and connect with project professionals across industries.

But PDD isn't just about sitting in sessions and taking notes.

It's about discovering an idea you hadn't considered.
Meeting someone who sees the profession differently.
Having a conversation that changes your perspective.
Finding something you can take back to your team.

Come curious. Leave with something you didn't expect.

Join us for PDD 2026.
