The Project Manager’s Toolbox FILLING
Thursday March 27, 2025 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Seneca One
As organizations navigate the complexities of an ever-evolving tech landscape, project managers (PM's) are tasked with more than just delivering on time and within budget. They are increasingly expected to act as strategic leaders who drive innovation and value delivery. In this presentation, we will explore the essential tools and methodologies that PMs need today to meet these heightened expectations.

The project manager’s toolbox has expanded beyond traditional project planning and execution. Today’s PMs must be well-versed in Agile, Lean, Scrum, and other adaptive frameworks that encourage flexibility, rapid iteration, and collaboration. These methodologies are crucial for tech companies aiming to remain competitive in a fast-paced market. Furthermore, PMs must embrace digital tools for collaboration, communication, and project tracking, as well as advanced techniques for risk management, stakeholder engagement, and team empowerment.

This session will cover:

Strategic PM Tools: Leveraging Agile frameworks and tools to foster innovation and alignment with business goals.
Technology Integration: Utilizing the latest project management software and tools to streamline workflows and improve communication.
Leadership & Team Dynamics: Building high-performing teams that drive value and are agile enough to pivot as priorities shift.
Value Delivery: Ensuring that projects contribute to long-term business success through continuous improvement and measurable outcomes.

Getting the *REAL* Work Done FULL
Thursday March 27, 2025 3:45pm - 4:45pm EDT
Seneca One
Actually effective tactics and tips for driving meaningful action from a trio of strategic marketers. Join us as we talk through how to sharpen your approach to marketing and build the momentum needed to make change happen. Realistically. (With case studies as proof!)

Danielle is all about the “crazy” ideas, because it sparks *real* opportunity and big wins. Just not all the ideas. She’ll talk through grounding your approach in strategy, staying focused yet agile in an ever-changing environment and facilitating alignment.

Tiffanie has been on the receiving end of the question, “Can you make us go viral?” more times than she can count. However, teams should instead focus on creating a long-lasting impact. Join Tiffanie as she explains why she believes in *real* engagement > virality, and how creating a content strategy anchored in community insights and cultural relevance delivers real results.

Jodie knows all about those annoying moments when someone who doesn't work in the day-to-day of marketing with you asks why that last minute campaign didn't do what they were hoping it would. She'll talk about a few ways to shift that dynamic from reactive to proactive and drive *real* results. To approach your marketing efforts in a sustainable and scalable way.
