What to Expect

Dear project managers, aspiring PMs, and everyone passionate about turning ideas into impact,
Welcome to the sixth PMI Roundtable in Mainz!
This meetup brings together professionals who manage, lead, and build – for an open, informal conversation about real-world challenges in project management. Whether you're a seasoned expert or just starting out, your perspective is truly valued.

Evening Topic: “AI Ethics for Project Managers: Balancing Innovation, Risk, and Responsibility”

AI is rapidly becoming part of products, workflows, and everyday project operations. Companies are eager to adopt AI solutions, clients expect AI-driven features, and teams increasingly rely on AI tools in their daily work. But alongside new opportunities come new risks and ethical questions.

Where does AI bring real value, and where is it introduced simply because of market pressure or trends? Who is responsible when AI produces incorrect, biased, or harmful outcomes? How transparent should teams be about AI usage? And what role should project managers play in balancing innovation with accountability?
This evening, we invite you to discuss the ethical and managerial challenges that emerge in AI-driven projects:
• Responsibility and accountability for AI-based decisions
• Risks teams and businesses often underestimate
• AI adoption driven by value vs. AI adoption driven by hype
• Transparency, trust, and decision-making in AI-assisted teams
• How AI is changing the role of the project manager
The goal is a practical exchange: learning from each other’s experiences, comparing approaches across sectors, and discovering insights that we can apply in our own projects.

If there’s a topic you’ve been wanting to explore – bring your own question. Expect a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, perfect for exchanging insights, finding like-minded peers, and leaving with fresh inspiration.

The working language of the meetup is English, to include our international network. Of course, feel free to contribute in German whenever that’s more comfortable – we value clarity over formality.

We’re excited to continue growing our local PMI community in Mainz and look forward to seeing you at our event!
