Meet your PDD26 opening keynote: Anthony Reed, CPA, PMP.

Fortune 500 technology executive, author, and award-winning documentary director — and he's opening the day with the argument at the heart of this year's theme.

His session, "Soft Skills: The Keys to Success in AI Environments," makes the case that negotiating, accepting criticism, storytelling, and transfer of learning are the true differentiators between successful and failed projects — even as AI enters the toolbox.

The tools are getting better. So should we.

Attention is the scarcest thing in your calendar. PDD26 is a full day of it.

5+ sessions, project leaders, and a room where nobody is half-listening. That's the part you can't get from a recording.

Ask AI anything and it answers in seconds. That's the easy part now.

The hard part didn't change: knowing what to ask. Which risk actually threatens the date. Which stakeholder is quietly off the bus. Which question unlocks the room.

That judgment is the human advantage — and it's what PDD26 sharpens. Two weeks out.

Meet PDD26 speaker Mei Lin.

AI & Digital Strategy Leader and author of "AI Project Power" — she spends her days where the tools meet the people who have to lead with them.

Her session: "Leading in the Age of AI." A grounding look at how AI is reshaping project delivery — and why the human leader's judgment, empathy, and communication remain the deciding factor.

Not a demo. A working view of what the tools change and what they don't.

Eight in the morning to six in the evening. Here's the shape of it.

Anthony Reed opens on the soft skills that decide AI-era projects. Mei Lin on what changes — and what doesn't — as AI reshapes delivery. Michele Ehrhart on communicating when the stakes are highest. Cato Johnson on a career built on trust and service. Jana Cardona on the default question every leader fires when a project goes off the rails.

Meet PDD26 speaker Michele Ehrhart.

SVP & Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at the University of Memphis, and best-selling author of Crisis Compass.

Her session, "Crisis Compass: Communicating When It Matters Most," draws on three decades of high-stakes communications — from FedEx global crisis response to university brand leadership — to show why clear, human communication is the skill AI still can't replace when the pressure is highest.

The day it goes wrong, no dashboard speaks for you.

Meet PDD26 speaker Jana Cardona.

Certified Personal & Professional Development Coach (ICF) and author — she works on the part of leadership that no tool touches.

Her session: "What's Your Default? That Default Defines the Leader You Are." Every leader has a default, the automatic question that fires when a project goes off the rails. This session introduces you to yours, and to the culture-first mindset that separates teams that deliver from teams that struggle.

You'll leave knowing your own.
