The Project Production Institute is proud to announce its Fourth Annual Technical Conference, to be held on 29 July 2026. 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 will focus on how to solve impactful problems and address technical challenges in three key sectors: Energy, Digital Infrastructure and Civil Infrastructure. This conference will advance research, education, knowledge and practical application of PPM through the presentation of papers and exchange of ideas between industry and academia.

In support of this, PPI invites practitioners and academics to submit technical abstracts for consideration and presentation at the upcoming conference. To participate, please submit an abstract that focuses on one of the following research categories: Theory (specifically related to Operations Science), 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).  Learn more about PPI’s research here.

The deadline for abstract submissions is 04 April 2026. Accepted abstracts/papers will be presented at the Technical Conference and published in the PPI Journal of Production Management.
