The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the upcoming 11th Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF), set to take place from 14 to 15 January 2026 at Madinat Jumeirah. The event, themed “Bridging Communities,” is co-organised by DP World, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), Emaar Properties, and the Project Management Institute (PMI).
This year’s forum will centre on five key pillars — Sustainable City, Digital Transformation, Jobs of the Future, Technology and Future Trends, and Customer Centricity in Project Management. Discussions will span topics such as sustainable urban growth, artificial intelligence, digital innovation, smart mobility, and agile project management.
Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Director General, said the forum has been instrumental over the past decade in positioning Dubai as a global centre for project management excellence, enhancing institutional performance, and supporting the emirate’s vision for sustainability and innovation.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, DEWA MD and CEO, added that the forum reflects Dubai’s commitment to leading large-scale projects that improve quality of life and align with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 goals.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World Chairman and CEO, highlighted the event’s role in shaping sustainable, resilient communities through innovation and international collaboration.
Leaders from Emaar and PMI emphasized that the forum offers a vital platform for knowledge exchange, celebrating Dubai’s achievements, and advancing global project management standards.
Since its inception in 2014, DIPMF has attracted nearly 20,000 participants and over 400 international experts, fostering dialogue on delivering major projects efficiently while driving sustainable development and positive community impact.
