Monthly Coffee Chat - PMs in Vancouver! (#33) - Saying No (The PM's Hardest Skill)

​The anchoring topic for this month's event is:

​🙅 Saying No - The PM's Hardest Skill

​Every roadmap is defined as much by what you turn down as what you ship. This month we're getting into the art of the no.

​Some of the areas we'll be discussing:

• ​Declining a loud stakeholder without making an enemy

• ​Prioritization frameworks that survive contact with execs

• ​Holding the roadmap line when leadership pushes back

• ​Knowing which no should quietly become a yes

​Join us for a relaxed and engaging monthly meetup where Product Managers, Project Managers, and Program Managers come together to share insights, swap stories, and tackle the challenges we all face in our roles.

​No formal presentations, no strict agendas - just open conversation, real-world experiences, and a chance to connect with fellow professionals in an informal, coffee-shop atmosphere.

​What to Expect:

​🤝 Casual networking & new friends.

​🌐 Fun stories to share and knowledge to spread.

​Who Should Attend:

• ​PMs looking to elevate their career and expand their network.

• ​Life-long learners who want to share their technical knowledge and learn from others.

• ​Aspiring PMs looking for advice or direction.
