The PMO Convergence 2025, hosted by PMaspire Global Group in collaboration with PMO Global Institute Inc, brought together more than 120 PMO leaders, executives, and innovators from over 80 organizations to explore how Project Management Offices (PMOs) are shaping economic growth, governance excellence, and nation-building in the new era of intelligence.
The event, themed “PMO as a Nation Builder,” showcased how PMOs have evolved from administrative units into strategic engines of transformation. Through keynote speeches, expert panels, and community networking, the conference emphasized how leadership, intelligence, and purpose must converge to drive national development.
In his visionary keynote, Dr Abdulla, founder and CEO of PMaspire Group and PMO Global Institute Inc, delivered an inspiring message about the rise of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the future of project management.
He stated that when intelligence grows beyond us, leadership must grow within us. He explained that the era of Artificial Superintelligence is coming within a few years when AGI will exceed human capacity. If professionals do not integrate intelligence into leadership and execution, they risk being replaced not by machines, but by those who adapt intelligently.
Dr Abdulla urged PMO leaders to embrace convergence, the unification of purpose, intelligence, and execution, as the foundation of sustainable progress and nation-building.
