Are you looking to get better at herding cats, aligning ducks, and wrangling clouds, or maybe just sharpening your skills in business process modeling and capturing user requirements? Well then, this panel discussion that we're co-hosting with the local SF Bay Area chapters of the Project Management Institute (PMISFBAC.org) and International Institute for Business Analysis (IIBA.org) is for you.

Join us as we dive into the worlds of project management, business analysis, and career development, exploring how AI is transforming these disciplines within the Salesforce ecosystem and beyond.

We’re bringing together an all-star lineup of panelists with years of hands-on experience, including Jay Ashford, Kimberly Barnes, Emmanuel Hyppolite, and Cynthia Hill, with Michael Orias as the moderator. You’ll even have the chance to earn PDUs while connecting with your fellow professionals.

So please join us for a lively and interactive panel discussion along with some food, soft drinks, and Salesforce SWAG! More details about our speakers with their LinkedIn profile links down below. Special thanks to Mohan Vemulapalli (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohanvemulapalli/), Director - Career Programs for the local PMI chapter and Jay Ashford (see below), President of the local IIBA chapter.
