The Event for Mastering
Digital Project Management
October 27 - October 28, 2025 • 8:00AM - 5:30PM PT
The Evergreen
618 SE Alder Street, Portland, OR 97214
The Digital PM Summit is where project leadership meets real-world experience—and this year’s lineup is packed with insights from the front lines. From navigating tricky stakeholder conversations to building emotionally intelligent teams, every session is designed to empower digital project managers with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and the confidence to lead in today’s complex and fast-moving environments.
You’ll hear stories of transformation: how agencies are turning discovery into their most valuable deliverable, how PMs are blending logic and empathy to hit deadlines without burning out, and how one team is thriving with agile workflows inside a waterfall world. Whether you’re new to digital project management or a seasoned leader, the Summit offers a rare mix of tactical strategies and human-centered wisdom. Expect candid conversations about burnout, freelance life, neurodiverse collaboration, and even the surprising ways AI can help you lead with more heart, not less.
At its core, the Digital PM Summit is a space for connection—between disciplines, between people, and between where you are now and the leader you want to become. Whether you’re managing your first project or mentoring the next generation, this event is your opportunity to rethink what it means to lead in digital.
