PMI takes summit to Cape Town
Project Management Institute (PMI) Sub-Saharan Africa, is taking this year’s PMI Global Summit Series to Cape Town from 14 to 15 September, 2026.
This decision follows the landmark gathering in Kigali that brought together over 1,000 project professionals, industry leaders, and government officials.
According to the organiser, it will hold at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, with the theme: Africa Delivers M.O.R.E Together.
Hosted by Project Management Institute (PMI) Sub-Saharan Africa, the Summit has become Africa’s largest platform for advancing project delivery, leadership, and innovation.
Cape Town provides a fitting backdrop for this year’s Summit. As one of Africa’s leading hubs for business, infrastructure, and innovation, the city reflects the scale of ambition and execution required to deliver transformative projects across the continent.
Africa Delivers MORE Together reflects the continent’s longstanding progress, says George Asamani, Managing Director, PMI Sub-Saharan Africa.
“From regional blocs such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the East African Community (EAC), to transformative initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Mission 300, Africa’s greatest achievements have been built through partnership, coordination, and shared purpose”.
The Kigali edition convened some of the continent’s most influential voices, including Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, then President of the African Development Bank, who underscored the need for projects to move beyond plans and deliver meaningful impact. Featured speakers included Armand Nzeyimana and Eric Ogunleye from the African Development Bank, Pierre Kayitana, Zipline Rwanda, and Kusobile Kamwambi, Government of Zambia, alongside globally recognised figures such as Dr Moses Adoko, formerly with NASA, entrepreneur and artist Olubankole Wellington (Banky W), and Guinness World Record holder Tunde Onakoya.
