Professional Development Day 2026

What does it take to build the systems that shape a city?

Behind every major initiative, infrastructure project, public service, innovation strategy, and community investment are leaders making decisions, navigating complexity, and driving results.

PMICAC Professional Development Day 2026 will spotlight the leaders, systems, and decisions shaping what’s next for Birmingham and beyond.

Community in Action: Leading Systems That Shape Our Future

We are seeking leaders, practitioners, and organizations shaping the systems driving Birmingham and the surrounding region forward.

This year’s program will highlight the people, projects, partnerships, and decisions creating measurable progress across our communities, industries, and economy.

We are looking for speakers who can share the work behind the outcomes—how challenges were addressed, how systems evolved, and how leadership, collaboration, and execution created impact.

We are especially interested in insights and experiences connected to:

• Infrastructure
• Transportation & Mobility
• Healthcare & Community Impact Systems
• Workforce Development & Talent Pipelines
• Business Growth
• Economic Development
• Innovation & Emerging Systems
• Urban Development & Housing
• Cross-Sector Leadership & Transformational Partnerships

If your work reflects Community in Action, we invite you to submit your interest and help us showcase what progress looks like in action.
