The Ultimate Project Management Challenge Returns – Join Us on 29 October 2025!
Are you ready to put your project management skills to the test?
Project managers, aspiring PMs and project management enthusiasts mark your calendars! The PMI Switzerland Chapter is celebrating International Project Management Day 2025 with the return of the Ultimate Project Management Challenge.
Following last year’s resounding success, the PMI Switzerland Chapter, in collaboration with STS, The Project Management Training Company (sts.ch), invites professionals from across Switzerland to take part in a nationwide SimulTrain® simulation. This interactive competition puts you in the role of a project manager, navigating high-pressure scenarios, unexpected challenges and team dynamics in real time.
Whether it’s managing risks, resolving conflicts, or making split-second decisions, this is your chance to demonstrate the skills that make great project managers stand out. Teams will compete locally, with top performers advancing to a Swiss-wide ranking. Prizes, recognition, and valuable networking opportunities await during the post-event apéro, where you can enjoy drinks, light snacks and connect with peers from across the country.
