The Project Production Institute will host its Fourth Annual Technical Conference on Wednesday 29 July 2026. This annual event brings together industry experts, academics and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge solutions, methodologies, and technologies driving technical advancements and innovation in project delivery.

The primary objective of the conference is to discuss and address the root cause of major capital project cost and schedule overruns via research, discussion and dissemination of Project Production Management (PPM) and its foundation of Operations Science. Specifically, this conference focuses on the research, development and application of methods and technologies used to optimize the delivery of civil, digital and energy infrastructure projects. 

In support of this, PPI invites practitioners and academics to submit technical abstracts for consideration and presentation at the upcoming conference. Participants submit an abstract that focuses on one of the following research categories: Theory (specifically related to Operations Science, PPM, Lean etc.), Model (the application of simulations, digital twins, robotics, autonomous, IoT, AI / ML) or Control (the use of various systems, protocols, methods and tools that are used to control Project Production Systems).
