One day. One city. The colleagues you've been meaning to meet in person. Near + Now brings focused professional development to four cities this year, with sessions built around the challenges you're actually navigating. Expect peer learning, honest conversation, and connections that stick well beyond the event.
Each event also includes structured accountability partnerships, so you leave with more than notes.

Explore the resource librarySome of the most useful learning happens between the scheduled things — a quick question answered by someone who gets it, a casual coffee chat that turns into a long conversation, a colleague who checks in when you're navigating something hard. PMJA members find each other across a handful of formats, depending on what they need and when.
Regular virtual gatherings organized around shared interests, roles, and experiences. Show up, listen, share what's working, and leave with something useful.
