Insights and inspiration for project professionals

What does the new PMI membership model mean for you and me?

We already shared an update about this change, but here is a short recap of what it includes.

Key highlights of the new model

You will benefit from:

• Simplified access
• Maximized network
• Enhanced member experience
• Diverse industry connections
• Local expertise and global insights

And it means:

• Automatic inclusion
• Residence-based affiliation starting in 2026
• Future flexibility from 2027
• No fee increases

What does a chapter membership offer?

If you’re not yet familiar with what chapter membership includes, here’s a quick overview:

• All the benefits PMI already offers: discounts on certifications and renewals, free or discounted eLearning courses, free digital access to foundational standards such as the PMBOK® Guide, plus member-only tools like PMI Infinity™, the AI-powered coach, and much more.
• The opportunity to join local events. Even if there are none nearby, you can suggest new event locations to the PMI Belgium Chapter.
• Discounts at local events, many of which are free for members.
• Enhanced access to the PMI Belgium Chapter website, including webinars and documentation exclusive to members.
• Networking opportunities, both online and in person.

What should you do to make sure you don’t miss out?

To ensure you continue receiving all benefits and remain connected to PMI Belgium:

• Review your PMI membership settings and make sure your information is up to date
• Your chapter affiliation is based on your registered country, not simply the address you enter
  • If your registered country is Belgium, you may choose PMI Belgium as your bundled chapter
  • If your registered country changes, PMI may require proof of residence to update it.
    PMI Customer Care can support you with this process when needed
