Gantt Academy Sponsors PMI® Silicon Valley's 2026 Annual Symposium

The Gantt Academy is proud to be a sponsor of the PMI® Silicon Valley Chapter’s 2026 Annual Symposium, taking place Friday, October 2, 2026, at the Fremont Downtown Event Center.

This year’s theme is Lead the Shift: Adaptive PM in the Age of AI. For a training company built around both project management and AI, that is about as close to home as a theme can get.

“Every project manager I talk to is asking the same question: what does my job look like when AI is on the team?” said lead trainer Jeff Cadieux. “The Silicon Valley chapter is putting that question front and center, and we want to be part of the conversation.”

Come find us

Our team will be at the Gantt Academy table all day, from the 8:00 AM check-in through the 5:15 PM happy hour. Stop by to:

Ask about certification. Whether you’re weighing PMP®, CAPM®, PMI-ACP®, or PMI-CPMAI™, we’ll give you a straight answer on which one fits your career and how long it really takes.
Talk shop. Compare notes on where AI is helping, where it isn’t, and what adaptive leadership means in practice.

PMI-CPMAI™ classes launch in December

The PMI Certified Professional in Managing AI (PMI-CPMAI)™ is the credential built for exactly the shift this symposium is about: running AI and data projects that actually deliver. Gantt Academy will begin offering PMI-CPMAI exam prep classes in December 2026, online and in person in San Francisco and Santa Clara. Stop by the table to get on the early list, or contact us and we’ll let you know the moment dates are posted.
