International Project Management Day, celebrated annually on the first Thursday of November, recognizes and honors the hard work and dedication of project managers around the world. It's a day to celebrate their achievements and to support the sharing of ideas and experiences within the project management community.

Project managers are essential to businesses, corporations, and nonprofit organizations globally. They play a critical role in planning, procurement, and execution of projects, ensuring that teams are aligned and that projects are successfully completed. The job can be challenging, often involving tight deadlines and strict budgets that require innovation, creativity, and time management skills.

Through their efforts, project managers provide vital products and services to communities worldwide. Many also provide emergency and natural disaster relief services, making their work even more critical to society. The global demand for project managers is expected to continue to increase, with over 87 million project management positions needed by 2027. Countries with the highest demand for project managers include China, India, the United States, Brazil, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.
