This Year's Theme

Emerging technologies are accelerating delivery while expectations rise and teams become more distributed. This year’s theme focuses on integrating new technologies responsibly, elevating human leadership and collaboration, and delivering outcomes that endure beyond go-live. Session focus areas include tech-in-the-project-lifecycle (including AI) with governance, value realization and benefits tracking, change leadership and stakeholder experience, risk and compliance for emerging tech, inclusive team practices and culture, and portfolio metrics that matter.

Example Topics:

  • Leading Through Change: Human-centered decision-making in digital transformations
  • AI & Leadership: Using technology without losing the human touch
  • Emotional Intelligence for Modern Leaders
  • Upskilling for Future Roles
  • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Practice
  • Building Resilient, Collaborative Teams

Note: “These topics are examples only and may not reflect the final event agenda.”
