Get Involved
Want to get involved with PM Hack on Sunday October 22nd? Here's how:
Participate as a PM
Participate as a PM
- Who is this for: Aspiring and entry-level (one year or less of exp) product managers who want to level up your product experience and add something to your portfolio / body of work
- What will you do: directly participate as part of the hackathon.
- Commitment: full day (10:30am - 7pm)
- Cost: Free to participate + lunch will be provided
Participate as a Mentor
- Who is this for: senior product managers, engineers, designers, and product marketers who want to help mentor emerging product talent and connect with others in your field.
- What you will do: volunteer for one more of the following opportunities:
- Product Lunch Q&A: 1 hour panel over lunch where you share how you got into product and participants ask questions (2-4 PM's, free lunch)
- Hackathon office hours: Sit down with several product teams and give them feedback and guidance on their product's direction and implementation details (2 hours in afternoon, 4-6 designers/eng/marketers/PM's)
- Final Judging: Evaluate final presentations from teams, scoring on each judging criteria, and discuss to award winning teams. (2 hours in late afternoon, 3-4 senior leaders. We ask that judges not participate in office hours)
- Commitment: 1 - 2 hours depending on the opportunity
- Note: PM Hack is a labor of love and neither Jason nor Johanna receive any kind of compensation for this project. We anticipate having corporate sponsorship for the venue space, lunch for folks at the lunch panel, and (cross your fingers) prizes for winners, and we deeply appreciate the volunteer effort of our mentors. We recognize that we were supported by others in breaking into product and see this as an opportunity to give back to the community.
