ProCon 2025 is all about connection—and we couldn’t ask for a better place to anchor this experience than in Minnesota, with the incredible team at the Minnesota JCC.

We are deeply grateful to CEO Stephanie Chauss, Chief Program Officer Alex Fisher, and the JCC’s remarkable staff and board for welcoming us with open arms. Their partnership has been a model of collaboration, generosity, and community spirit that embodies the very essence of what it means to connect.

We’re thrilled to be in the Minnesota JCC’s backyard and excited to build meaningful relationships with the professionals, leaders, and changemakers at both vibrant campuses. Together, we’re making this conference not only a gathering but also a shared journey.

The Minnesota JCC has two locations, one in St. Paul, Capp Center St. Paul, and one in Minneapolis, Sabes Center Minneapolis.  

Visiting a JCC or JCC Camp when you travel is a great way to see how others in the biz do it! If you’re interested in seeing the Minnesota JCC Capp Center St. Paul (Thanks to them for opening their doors to us!) or an off-site, hands-on Jewish service learning opportunity, also in the works, hold off on finalizing your travel until we tie up these details.

In the meantime, here’s background info about The Minnesota JCC Capp Center St. Paul: One of two campuses operated by the Minnesota JCC, it has been a vital part of the community since 1917, and the current building became its home in 1964. The JCC Capp Center St. Paul features a state-of-the-art health and fitness center and the HaLev Early Childhood at the J. The campus is home to the Minnesota JCC Symphony Orchestra, Herman J. Birnberg Fine Art Gallery, Northern Lights School of Strings, youth theater, and life enrichment programs. In addition, JCC Capp Center St. Paul offers essential services, including Russian language translation services, kosher Meals on Wheels, senior transportation services, and inclusion programs.
