Critical Chain
Online Conference 2026

Live Event | April 22th

Critical Chain 2026 will take place in April 22, 2026  as an online conference showcasing the value that Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) brings and sharing the common theme – deliver projects faster, better and at lower cost. We're expecting up to 1,000+ project managers, portfolio managers and CCPM practitioners. Our goal is to offer a thought-provoking, attractive, and valuable program for the attendees and sponsors. Attendees come to learn and to find answers and solutions to their questions and problems. Compelling presentations will make the attendees want more. So we encourage you to keep this in mind when preparing your presentation. Join us in demonstrating the power of CCPM and making a lasting impression on the project management community

Session Types 

We’re seeking presentations that clearly demonstrate the value of CCPM—through fundamentals, practical application, measurable outcomes, and innovation. Attendees come to learn, solve problems, and find answers. The most successful sessions are clear, practical, and compelling—and leave people wanting more.

 

CCPM Foundations Track

Perfect for those newer to Critical Chain or early in adoption.

Submission examples:

  • What CCPM is 

  • Why Critical Chain works (the “why” behind the method)

  • What to change—and how to get started

  • Common pitfalls, misconceptions, and early wins

  • How to build buy-in and align leadership/teams

Practitioner-led presentations are strongly encouraged. Consultants are welcome to co-present alongside their clients.

 

Industry & Practitioner Case Studies (Proven Results)

For real-world stories that show what changed and what improved.

Submission should include:

  • The challenge, problem or constraint 

  • What you changed and how you implemented CCPM

  • The evidence (metrics, before/after, lessons learned)

  • Results achieved: speed, reliability, throughput, cost, capacity, culture, etc.

 

Tools, Technology & Innovation (Sponsors + Open Submissions)

Open to sponsors and practitioners sharing tools, new developments, and emerging capabilities.

Great topics include:

  • CCPM software and practical implementation guidance

  • New developments or enhancements in Critical Chain

  • AI, analytics, and decision support for CCPM

  • Innovations that improve planning, execution, and portfolio flow

  • Demonstrations grounded in outcomes (not just features)
