AI is already reshaping project management: how it's led, delivered, and governed. In this track, six speakers tackle that shift from six different angles: leadership, delivery, PMO strategy, hands-on tooling, and organizational choice, making the case that being future-ready isn't about adopting AI; it's about leading through it deliberately.

Janet Poot - AI-Discoverability: The Next Leadership Capability in Project Management. Janet argues projects need to be findable, not just deliverable, at the individual, project, and organizational level. She shows how structuring project data and decisions for people, systems, and AI strengthens knowledge management and sharpens decision-making transparency.

Teodora Anna Sveva Cerrato - Making AI Deliver: How Project Leaders Create Measurable Impact. With nearly 80% of AI projects failing to deliver measurable business impact, Teodora shows how to beat those odds. Drawing on financial services and insurance experience, she introduces structured frameworks, including the CPMAI workbook, to govern AI delivery instead of leaving it to chance.

Ivan Moreira - AI-Powered PMO: Synergies for the Strategic Evolution From Administrative Function to Strategic Decision Engine. Ivan challenges the idea that a PMO exists to enforce compliance, introducing a PMO Transformation Model and a Trustworthy AI Framework that map the shift from administrator to strategic decision engine.

Jonas Rechreche & Anna Yampolskaya - AI Agents Made Practical: From Daily Tasks to Project Success. Moving beyond typing questions into ChatGPT, Jonas and Anna show project professionals how to build their own AI agents, live and hands-on, using no-code platforms and no programming experience.

Lloyd Skinner - The Efficacy Shift: How AI Should Change What Organizations Choose to Do. Lloyd asks whether doing things well is the same as doing the right things, structuring the session around Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Efficacy to explore how AI should reshape which projects organizations choose to pursue in the first place.

Veerle Simons & Emilie Visser - Portfolio Management Made Easy: The PMO Scalability Challenge. This Sponsor presentation will let you rethinking project and portfolio management with Smartsheet + AI

Together, these six sessions span the full picture of being future ready. From leadership and delivery to PMO strategy, everyday tooling, and the choices organizations make about where to focus effort.
