One year ago, we co-founded PM Hive, Vancouver's PM community. We hosted 30+ events ever since and collaborated with premier groups in the city such as Vancouver.dev and Vancouver Design Community. PM Hive has since grown to almost 1k LinkedIn followers and we continue to focus on valuable, knowledge-first events for PMs across the city to learn and grow their careers. We did this all on the side. Crazy how far we've come. Read my story on Medium for free: https://lnkd.in/gUNQf8pY Thank you to everyone over the past year who supported us and involved themselves in our community. We wouldn't have been able to host all these events without you. To all our volunteers, past co-founders, and friends, your support will never be taken for granted. Cheers 💙 💛
