Come ready to share w hat you’re seeing on your end too — the best part will be comparing note s. \;\n \;\nYou don’t need to be a PM to get something out of this . It’s a good fit if you’re curious about any of the following: \;\n• What PMs and quality folks have in common (and where they still talk pa st each other) \;\n• How AI is actually landing in delivery teams — b eyond the hype \;\n• Which PM habits quietly prevent quality problems before they start \;\n• Continuing the conversations from PMI Portla nd 2026 \;\n \;\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in perso n or tune in online.
