The seventh International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2025) takes place this week in Montevideo, Uruguay. It marks the first time the conference has been held in Latin America.
ICPM is an annual process mining event where vendors, consultants, customers, end-users, students, and researchers gather to discuss ideas, share insights, foster innovation, and explore new frontiers in the field.
ICPM in Montevideo aims to provide a unique opportunity to bring together the Latin American and International scientific process mining community, as well as software enterprises and professionals, with an appealing scientific and industry program promoting new collaborations and networking opportunities, according to the event website.
Process Mining Conference 2025 keynotes
ICPM 2025 features two keynote speakers, Claudia Bauzer Medeiros, full professor at the Institute of Computing, University of Campinas, and Rudy Kuhn, lead transformation evangelist at Celonis.
Medeiros will discuss the FAIR open science paradigm of data quality criteria, namely that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The talk will present some of the challenges of log “FAIR-ification” and beyond, and the consequent benefits this brings to the FAIRification of the processes in an organization. It will also explore how to conciliate the need for confidentiality in process mining with the directives of openness and sharing without frontiers of open science.
Kuhn will then discuss how process intelligence provides the structural foundation (the data, context, and transparency) needed for artificial intelligence (AI) to learn, adapt, and drive meaningful outcomes. He will present a bold vision where people, processes, and technology collaborate seamlessly to make process mining smarter, faster, and more impactful than ever before.

Process mining in business transformation
Process mining plays an increasingly important role in business transformation. The PEX Report 2025/26, based on a global survey of more than 200 professionals, found that 24 percent of organizations currently use process mining to support transformation efforts. Meanwhile, 17 percent are planning to invest in process mining tools in the next 12 months.
Worldwide process mining software spending grew by more than 30 percent in 2024, continuing on its high-growth trajectory from 2023 with a 39.5 percent growth rate, according to the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Process Mining Platforms. With US$871.6 million in revenue in 2023, the market spending is forecast to cross the $2 billion mark by 2028 at a five-year compound annual growth rate of about 18 percent from 2023 to 2028.
Gartner recognizes five main drivers for the adoption of process mining – process analysis, optimization and automation, digital transformation, AI and generative AI, sustainability, and operational resilience/autonomous operations.
