Too Good to Go!

You know an event is really good when people just don’t want to leave. That’s been the case lately for several SNEC programs.

A perfect example was “AI for Project Managers,” our panel discussion in Enfield, Connecticut, back in November. Panelists Mike Krahn, Paul Clapis, and Dan Montagna, facilitated by moderator Pratik Dahule, answered questions about everything from AI prototyping to PMI’s CPMAI certification. Several of the attendees contributed their own expertise. The conversation was so engrossing that we had to order a second round of pizza and, finally, to kick ourselves out of the room!

Even Zoom meetings sometimes go into overtime. Joe Carfagno kicked off 2026 with a resume-critique roundtable that continued well past its scheduled cutoff. (If you missed it, no worries. It was so popular that we’ll probably schedule another one soon.)
