Not a project manager? No worries. But… at some point, someone’s gonna make you lead a project anyway.

And with the AI revolution in full swing, that project might be a bit more complex than the office holiday party.

Don’t worry — this has been happening for years. In fact, most projects are led by folks who’ve never even considered being a project management professional.

But don’t be fooled: things are changing.

Project management skills aren’t a “nice-to-have” anymore. They’re becoming a requirement for many roles across many industries.

So, as strange as it may sound, the future of project management might be in your hands as someone who never once considered project management as your cup of tea.

And before you run out and get every project management certification under the sun, join this session.

We’ve assembled an all-star panel of project management experts — each representing a distinct area of the project world — to help you suss out the right level of project management skills for your career path.

It’s a live event, so anything can happen! But I’m confident you’ll come away with…

  • An understanding of how AI is increasing expectations for roles that involve project-based work
  • A perspective on whether you should get your PMP… and when it might become important for your career
  • The tools for identifying what parts of your work might actually be projects in disguise
  • Examples of how taking on projects can help further your career
  • A sense of what the future role of the titled project manager will become, and where you fit in
