Join the conversation that gets things done!
Every career has its myths, unexpected challenges, and lessons learned the hard way – and project management is no exception. This authentic, reflective, and engaging session gives newer PMs an opportunity to learn from their experienced colleagues -- and experienced PMs a chance to share some "oddities" they've encountered.
Learning Objectives:

Agenda:
- 5:00 PM - Check-In & Network over appetizers and drinks
- 5:30 - 6:30 PM - PM Collective session
