Speedrun the Product Community: A Product Management Speed-Networking Event

Growing your professional network isn’t just for jobseekers. Our job is constantly evolving (especially in the age of AI), and the best way to keep up-to-date with the latest and greatest is to learn how your colleagues are doing it, what challenges they’re facing, and how they overcome them. This is why ChiPMA exists, and this is why we are creating this opportunity to connect with others in your field!

At this event you’ll have the chance to have 12 one-on-one conversations with fellow conversations, free of any distractions. We’ll be providing you with some unique icebreakers, but what you talk about is up to you! By the time you leave the building, you’ll feel like you’ve really gotten to know someone you’ve never spoken to before, and the oft lonely world of product has maybe gotten a little less lonely.

We are excited to partner with Northwestern University for this event. Food and drinks will be provided!
