AI in Project Management: From Hype to Hands-On

Overview

AI is moving fast, and project managers are being asked to use it before anyone has explained how. This grounded session cuts through the noise: where AI genuinely helps a PM today, where it doesn’t, and how to use it responsibly. Through live-style examples, attendees see AI draft plans and status updates, summarize meetings, surface risks, and assist with estimates - and learn the judgment to keep a human firmly in the loop.

Why you should Attend
