I had the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn from industry leaders. The connections and knowledge I gained are invaluable, and I look forward to applying these insights in my professional and personal life" Jewish Community Professionals’ Conference London Participant 2024
Following on from the success of our 2024 London event, we are delighted to be hosting our Manchester event on Thursday 5th December 2024. The event is aimed at community professionals at any stage of their career.
We understand that with the multitude of challenges facing the sector as a whole, coupled with the atrocities of 7th October and its continued impact on the community, it is a challenging time to be a communal professional. We hope that whilst this day provides an opportunity for self development, it is also an opportunity to meet up with fellow colleagues from across the community and support one another.
