Title: Closing the Year and Opening the Future: Resiliency, Resolve, and Results

Abstract: We are approaching the close of 2025. Yet, the end of the year is more than a finish line. It’s a launching pad. This keynote reflects on the lessons learned from 2025’s challenges and triumphs, offering a framework for renewal as project managers prepare for the year ahead. Through stories of resilience, resolve, and reinvention, we’ll celebrate impact and results; and we will chart a path toward sustainable success in 2026.

Key Takeaways:

• Reflect on 2025’s defining trends and what they mean for the future of project management.

• Apply resilience practices to sustain energy and focus during high-pressure cycles.

• Develop a personal and professional “renewal framework” to carry momentum into the new year.
