About the event
Growing your professional network isn’t just for jobseekers. Product management is constantly evolving—especially in the age of AI—and one of the best ways to keep up is to learn how other product professionals work, what challenges they face, and how they overcome them.
Attendees will have 12 focused, one-on-one conversations with fellow product professionals. ChiPMA will provide unique icebreakers, but participants can take each conversation wherever they choose. By the end of the evening, attendees should leave with meaningful new connections—and hopefully feel that the often-lonely world of product has become a little less lonely.
ChiPMA is excited to partner with Northwestern University for this event. Food and drinks will be provided.
