Panel: Project Manager vs Product Manager: Driving Delivery vs Defining Value
For April 2026, we will be working with Project Management Association Singapore (PMAS) ! We will be hosting a panel to examine two common job roles in the AI industry: Project Managers and Product Managers.
In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, organisations increasingly rely on both Project Managers and Product Managers, yet confusion between these roles remains widespread. This panel discussion aims to clarify, differentiate, and elevate understanding of how these two critical roles work together to deliver both execution excellence and customer value.
Community partnership with Lorong AI, Project Management Association SG, and Raffles Venture Partners!
Lorong AI brings together government, industry, and research to build Singapore’s AI ecosystem. A collaborative hub for AI practitioners connect, innovate, and shape the future of AI in Singapore throughout curated programs and a supportive community.
