AI has been the shiny new toy in every boardroom this year - but has it really delivered for PMOs and portfolio leaders?
Join us on 11th December for a festive, no-fluff session hosted by Stuart Easton, CEO of TransparentChoice, as we unwrap the real stories of AI in portfolio management.
Our all-star panel - Mei Lin, David Dunning, and Joe Pusz will share what’s really happening out there in project land. From wins that made execs cheer to experiments that deserve a proper lump of coal, they’ll reveal where AI is helping, where it’s hilariously not, and what it all means for the future of strategy execution.
Expect laughs, candid reflections, and a few “you won’t believe this happened” moments. No slides. No corporate gloss. Just honest, insightful conversation about how AI is reshaping the PMO world - one bot at a time.
Perfect for PMO leaders and executives who want a peek behind the curtain before writing their 2026 AI wish list.
