Opening Keynote
AI-Powered Project Controls:
Gain Actionable Strategies to Adapt and Thrive in the AI-Driven Era of Project Management
Let’s face it—traditional project controls weren’t built for today’s speed, scale, and chaos. Budgets blow up. Schedules slip. Reports lag behind reality.
But what if we told you the future of project delivery is already here—and it’s powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
In this bold and eye-opening keynote, we’ll pull back the curtain on how Artificial Intelligence is transforming project controls from reactive to radically predictive. From cost forecasting to risk detection, from smart dashboards to GPT-powered reporting assistants, you’ll get a front-row seat to what’s possible—and what’s next.
You’ll see real-life case studies, emerging tech in action, and even a live demo of a custom-built GPT assistant that speaks the language of capital projects.
Whether you’re leading the charge or just trying to keep up, this session will challenge your thinking, spark your imagination, and equip you to navigate the AI-powered future of project delivery.
