Welcome to the 2025 Northeastern University Global Symposium on Leadership & Project Management

We are pleased to welcome you to the Fourth Northeastern University Global Symposium on Leadership & Project Management, a premier gathering of thought leaders, industry experts, and scholars dedicated to advancing leadership and project management. Scheduled for August 21-22, 2025, this symposium offers a platform for insightful discussions on the latest trends, strategies, and challenges shaping these fields.

The 2025 symposium theme, “Transformative Leadership and Project Management: Driving Innovation, Sustainability, and Ethical Collaboration in a Dynamic World,” reflects the urgent need for leaders and project managers to embrace agility, sustainability, and ethical decision-making. The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on industries, workforce dynamics, and strategic decision-making have further heightened the need for innovative leadership and adaptive project management approaches.

The increasing complexity of global markets, the accelerating pace of technological advancements, and the growing demand for sustainable solutions require organizations to adopt a forward-thinking approach. Effective leadership inspires teams, fosters innovation, and drives meaningful change, while strong project management ensures that strategic visions are executed with precision. Together, these disciplines create a foundation for organizations to thrive in an environment of constant change.

This symposium provides a unique opportunity to explore how leadership and project management intersect to foster innovation, agility, and sustainable growth. Through engaging discussions, participants will gain valuable insights into leading transformational initiatives, integrating AI-driven solutions, and navigating the challenges of an interconnected world with ethical and sustainable strategies.

The two-day program features expert-led keynote sessions, interactive workshops, and panel discussions designed to equip attendees with practical strategies for balancing agility, innovation, and sustainability. Industry leaders and academic experts will share their knowledge, offering actionable approaches to driving success in today’s dynamic business landscape.

We invite you to join us at Northeastern University for this inspiring event. Whether you are an experienced professional, an emerging leader, or an academic eager to expand your knowledge, this symposium will offer valuable perspectives and tools to help shape the future of leadership and project management. Together, we can explore innovative solutions, harness AI’s transformative potential, and contribute to a more sustainable, ethical, and forward-looking world.
