Starting second half 2025 activities from the Project Management
Communities’ Associations in Italy
Introduction
Italian project management is experiencing an era of fresh dynamism, which stems from collective activity among national and international organizations. From the three Italian Chapters of the Project Management Institute to International Project Management Association (IPMA Italy), and to the Italian Institute of Project Management (ISIPM), the agenda is alive with action. Throughout the last few months, these institutions have converged professional development, competitions, seminars, and regulatory developments to enhance individual and organizational capabilities. Their collaborative undertakings illustrate the manner in which project management is transforming into a conscious practice that combines education, business, and society at large.
The Associations of Project Management Community in Italy
The Project Management Institute: Northern Italy’s Chapter (PMI-NIC)[1]; Central Italy’s Chapter (PMI-Central Italy)[2]; Southern Italy’s Chapter (PMI-SIC)[3]
After the 8th edition of PMI Chapter’s main event[4], this year coordinated by the Southern Italy Chapter, they are following their mainstream with seminars, webinars and other events all over our country.
Italian PMI Chapters: Recent Work since September 2025 onwards
Since September 2025, the Italian Chapters of the Project Management Institute (PMI) have embarked on a rich agenda of events and activities in professional development, knowledge sharing, university partnerships, and project management leadership. Some of the highlights of the Northern, Central, and Southern Italy Chapters are as follows.
Northern Italy Chapter (PMI-NIC)
The Northern Italy Chapter boasts more than 2700 members and around 100 volunteers, which would translate into a high level of organizational capacity. There are more than 30 programs running every year, both virtual and live, covering a broad spectrum of project management topics. They also create original content (podcasts, blog posts) and undertake research and collaborative work with universities, non-profits, and corporate entities for knowledge sharing and community building.
Central Italy Chapter (PMI-Central Italy)
Central Italy remains a place of convergence for corporate and academic communities to promote the profession of project management. It provides webinars, events, certifications (e.g. PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP), and promotes professional development through outreach in industries such as architecture, healthcare, transportation and others.
