Title: 15 Years of Change: The Profession Then, Now and Future

Registration Link: This is an ACMP Global event, and the registration process is a bit different, please click here: 15 Years of Change: The Profession Then, Now and Future.

Description: Join us on Global Change Management Day 2026 for a thought-provoking conversation marking both ACMP’s 15th anniversary and the remarkable journey of our profession. Over the past decade and a half, change management has evolved from a project-level support function to a globally recognized strategic capability driving organizational transformation. This special webinar will feature conversations exploring how our roles, competencies, and professional identity have transformed—and what’s ahead for the next decade of change.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will:

1. Explore how the expectations, roles, and competencies of change professionals have shifted in the past 15 years.
2. Recognize the profession’s direction and the implications for future practice.
3. Identify opportunities for personal growth to align with the profession’s future direction.
4. Gain insights into the trends shaping the next decade of change management.

Participants will leave with practical insights and inspiration to evolve their own practice and lead change in increasingly complex environments.
