You Belong at The Come Up.

Join the PMI South Alabama Chapter for an unforgettable evening of reflection, recognition, connection, and celebration as we close an extraordinary 2026 and celebrate the courage it takes to keep building.

Every person has a story.

For some, 2026 brought promotions, certifications, graduations, new businesses, new relationships, and exciting opportunities. For others, the year brought unexpected changes, professional setbacks, difficult decisions, career transitions, closed doors, or the challenge of simply figuring out what comes next.

Some of us are celebrating the other side of the storm.

Some of us are still standing in the rain.

Yet we are still building.

That's what The Come Up is about.

This isn't simply a celebration of accomplishments. It's a celebration of perseverance, progress, possibility, and the people who kept going.

Whether you're a PMI member, volunteer, student, community partner, business leader, project professional, career changer, emerging professional, currently seeking your next opportunity, or a friend of the project management community—this celebration includes you.

Building Bold Bridges

Throughout 2026, PMI South Alabama has embraced our chapter theme:

Building Bold Bridges

Building, we bond. Boldly, we lead. Bridging, we belong.

This theme has been more than a slogan.

It has represented our commitment to strengthening relationships, creating meaningful professional connections, expanding opportunities, developing leaders, serving our communities, and building a chapter where people know they belong.

Like many of the people we serve, PMI South Alabama experienced its own moments of challenge and transformation in 2026.

And we kept building.

At The Come Up, we'll celebrate the bridges we built together while honoring the individual journeys that brought each of us into the room.

Featured Keynote

Keep Building: Your Story Isn't Finished

Our featured keynote will take us beyond titles and professional accomplishments to explore resilience, change, possibility, and what it means to continue building when life changes the original plan.

Because sometimes the most important project you'll ever manage...

is yourself.

The Come Up Experience

Throughout the evening, you'll have opportunities to reflect on your own journey:

What did you keep building when life told you to stop?

Your career?

Your education?

Your business?

Your confidence?

Your relationships?

Your future?

Yourself?

Whatever your answer may be, tonight we celebrate it.

2027 Vision & Chapter Theme Reveal

Before the evening ends, we'll turn our attention toward the future and reveal PMI South Alabama's vision and chapter theme for 2027.

We've spent 2026 Building Bold Bridges.

Now it's time to discover where those bridges will take us next.

This Celebration Is for You

You don't need a particular title.

You don't need to have earned another certification.

You don't need to have received a promotion.

You don't need to have everything figured out.

And your storm doesn't have to be over.

You simply had to keep building.

So come reflect on where you've been.

Celebrate how far you've come.

Connect with the people around you.

Honor what you've built.

And leave inspired about what's still possible.
