Beyond Technical

How many times have you left a presentation on a technical paper feeling overwhelmed and more confused? The Project Control Summit is NOT a dry technical conference. Not the presentation of boring technical papers. Not solely technical. We believe that just giving you information on a technical subject is NOT enough. We want you to leave the conference with tactical tips and strategies to implement in your projects immediately. You'll be learning tactical strategies from some of the most successful project controls thought leaders in the world today.

One Session for All

Project Control Summit allows you to expand your knowledge in multiple areas of Project Controls, not just your area of expertise. We believe that diversifying your knowledge and experience in various fields of Project Controls is ESSENTIAL for your career growth. So, we got rid of multiple technical tracks, as you usually see in technical conferences, and shrank that down to only ONE general session for ALL.

From Your Host

Are you ready to be wowed with the most uplifting Project Controls conference?

If you want to equip yourself with tactical Project Controls knowledge, so you can grow and step-up your career to a whole new level, Project Control Summit is for you.

We take this event personally - because we *wish* we had this level of support when we began.

After attending countless technical conferences over the years, and speaking at some, we became aware of something that was missing.

We believe that our community needs more tactical guidance, strategic gatherings, and proven Project Controls strategies. We need to help each other grow both on the technical side of Project Controls as well as the vital soft skills.

We need an event that keeps us all current, connected, and competent, at our full potential.

That's why we decided to establish a Project Controls conference that is not only TACTICAL but also INSPIRING so you take prompt action for moving forward.

We are inviting some of the BEST speakers and industry thought leaders who are going to give you their best advice and strategies so you succeed in your projects and your career.

We want you to leave the conference feeling UNSTOPPABLE and EMPOWERED by all of the new tools in your toolkit. If you've ever wanted to rapidly grow your career in Project Controls/ Project Management, then attending Project Control Summit is a great starting point.

We are highly positive that this will be the most impactful event you will experience because when you learn how to successfully grow your career, it changes your life --and your family's lives-- for generations.

We cannot wait to see you at the 2020 Project Control Summit.
