What is ProCon 2025?
It’s been six years since we’ve come together in person as one field, and now is our moment. Built by and for JCC professionals, ProCon 2025 is where big ideas, bold action, and powerful relationships converge.
Across three days of immersive programming, you’ll tap into four elemental forms of connection—Human, Knowledge, Jewish and Israel, and Movement—each one essential to the work we do and the future we’re building.
Whether you’re new to the field or a longtime leader, you’ll find your people, your purpose, and your next big idea at ProCon 2025. You’ll leave recharged and ready, connected to your peers, your mission, and the momentum of the JCC Movement.
 |
Human Connections: The relationships that lift us, ground us, and move us forward—peer to peer, JCC to JCC, person to person. JCCs are in the business of life. |
 |
Knowledge Connections: Ideas that spark action. Tools that drive real change—for your team, your mission, and your next bold move. From leadership to AI, you're leveling up. |
 |
Jewish and Israel Connections: Two pillars of our shared identity. Each builds pride, purpose, and deeper meaning—within ourselves, our work, and our communities. Now more than ever—for you and your communities. |
 |
Movement Connections: Stronger together, always. A shared future, shaped by our diversity and our unified mission. This is how we lead the movement, together. |
These connections will happen across six different structural elements:
Movement Moments
Three one-of-a-kind experiences you can have only at ProCon—when the whole room connects at once. A burst of creativity, celebration, and collective energy. Moments that move you from “me” to “we”—and remind us of what we’re building together.
Peer Communities
Already connected by similar positions, subject matter areas, or related goals at JCCs and JCC Camps across the continent, these communities will help members deepen relationships, exchange ideas, tackle shared challenges, and imagine what’s possible together.
Intensives
Choose from six distinct Intensives led by experts from beyond the JCC Movement and step into an exceptional 4.5-hour learning experience that will deepen your knowledge, propel your leadership forward, and enhance your work.
Labs
Keep the ideas moving by choosing among these timely, and timeless, topics, all facilitated by best-in-class guest consultants or JCC pros. These 75-minute sessions are designed as introductions full of inspiration, ideas, and practical takeaways.
