International Construction Project Management Association

What International Construction Project Management Association does

International Construction Project Management Association (ICPMA) is a Switzerland-based non-profit professional association founded in 2001 that operates as an international community for construction project management practitioners. ICPMA serves individual construction project managers, early-career professionals (via its YICPMA youth chapter), partner organizations in 12+ countries, and construction industry organizations seeking international visibility. The association delivers value through an annual international conference held in rotating global cities (Porto 2022, Munich 2023, New York City 2024, Madrid 2025, Seoul 2026), an annual awards program recognizing excellence across categories including sustainability, social impact, global alliance working, collaboration, and overall project achievement, a free mentoring programme, regional member hubs, webinars and virtual summits, and biennial digital yearbooks. ICPMA does not develop or sell technology products; its offering is community, knowledge, and recognition.

ICPMA generates revenue through three primary streams: membership fees (annual ICPMA membership at 225 EUR, retired member tier at 50 EUR, YICPMA student/young professional membership at 50 EUR for two years), conference registration fees (225-325 EUR per attendee with separate gala dinner pricing), and event sponsorship packages (Bronze 500 EUR through Platinum 4,500 EUR) sold to construction industry organizations. Go-to-market is community-led: ICPMA acquires and engages members through its partner organization network across Australia, Austria, England, India, Japan, Philippines, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Spain, USA, and Malta, supported by content marketing via the website, Learning Hub articles and webinars, and active social media presence (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook). A registered office in Bern is hosted by pom+Consulting AG.

The operating model is that of a traditional professional association rather than a technology business: only 9 employees are listed, the organization runs no software product or platform, relies on partners for delivery across most countries, and reinvests any surplus into community programming, awards administration, and conference production. Strategic priorities reflected in the data are Asia-Pacific expansion (Seoul 2026 flagship), extension of the Learning Hub through academic and training partnerships, establishment of regional member hubs for year-round engagement, and pipeline development through the YICPMA youth chapter.
