2026 Roundtables

These are the topics we will be covering this year. The meeting sequence will be determined and dates are down below.

• Data Security, AI, and the Project Manager’s New Role
  • This session will provide a foundational understanding and operational framework for project managers involved in data security and AI realization.  Less than five years ago, Yotam Segev cofounded Cyera to solve the practical, enterprise-scale problem of data security. Then, the world changed: as the AI boom materialized, data became the essential fuel for corporations to make their AI dreams a reality. That’s put Cyera in an important position within organizations in need of new frameworks for data security and data management – defending a company’s information from a multitude of new threats, including agentic attacks, while enabling internal data to power new AI applications. 
• Orchestrating Change in the Age of Continuous Disruption
  • Today’s projects operate in a constant state of change. This session equips leaders and project managers with practical strategies to navigate ongoing disruption, align teams, and keep initiatives moving forward. Learn how to anticipate shifts, communicate effectively through uncertainty, and turn continuous change into a competitive advantage rather than a constant setback.
• Psychological Safety: How Project Managers Shape Team Performance
  • High-performing project teams don’t happen by accident – they’re built on trust and open communication. This session explores how project managers can create psychological safety that encourages collaboration, problem-solving, and accountability. Learn practical strategies to help foster honest dialogue, reduce conflict, and improve team performance across every phase of your projects.
• Trust, Credibility, and Political Capital: What Experienced PMs Wish They Had Known Sooner
  • Technical skills alone don’t drive project success – relationships do. This session reveals the unwritten rules of influence that seasoned Project Managers and executives learned the hard way. Discover how to build trust, strengthen credibility, and grow your political capital to gain support, resolve conflicts, and move projects forward more effectively.
• Deliberate Doubt: Better Decisions in Complex Project Environments
  • In fast-moving project environments, speed and confidence are often rewarded; however, unchecked certainty can lead to blind spots and preventable errors. This session introduces Deliberate Doubt, a practical decision-making framework designed to help leaders challenge assumptions, surface risk earlier, and improve judgment without slowing execution. Participants leave with tools to strengthen decision quality, reduce avoidable risk, and navigate uncertainty more effectively.
• Workshop: AI Tools for Project Managers
  • Discover how AI can simplify your day-to-day project work. In this interactive workshop, Project Managers will learn practical ways to use AI for scheduling, reporting, risk tracking, and communication. Walk away with ready-to-use tools and techniques that help you save time, improve accuracy, and stay ahead of project challenges – without adding complexity to your workflow.
