The monthly Professional Development Sessions are for Jewish young professionals in Philadelphia, designed to support career growth, networking, mentorship-style learning, real-world professional insight, and community connection.
Join us this month for a conversation with Jacob Zemon. Jacob is a WSI-Certified Consultant who helps healthcare organizations and biotech startups attract the right patients, partners, and investors through strategic digital marketing. With senior-level experience as VP of Analytics at Publicis Groupe, Marketing Strategist at Merck, and Digital Strategy Consultant at Accenture, Jacob brings a rare blend of healthcare, life sciences, and enterprise marketing expertise to every engagement. He works with medical practices, dental groups, physical therapy clinics, chiropractors, and med spas to build marketing systems that increase visibility, generate qualified leads, and support long-term growth. His approach focuses on practical strategies that deliver measurable results while respecting the unique compliance, privacy, and trust considerations that come with healthcare marketing. Jacob’s recent book, Is Your Healthcare Practice Stuck, explores how to make clear, confident business decisions and how to stop treating marketing as scattered tactics as you build a coordinated growth system for your practice.
Each month features an engaging guest speaker with expertise across industries. Topics may include entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, arts and culture, business, education, technology, social impact, and leadership development. Speakers share their career journeys, professional growth experiences, and actionable strategies for career advancement, skill-building, leadership development, and long-term career exploration.
These events for young professionals are intentionally designed to be accessible, energizing, and community-centered. Whether you are looking for young professionals networking in Philadelphia, career development workshops, professional networking opportunities, or Jewish young adult community events in Philadelphia, this series provides a consistent space to connect, learn, and grow.
Each event is structured to balance networking and learning. Dinner is provided from 6:30 PM–7:00 PM, offering informal networking opportunities. The program runs from 7:00 PM–8:00 PM and includes a featured speaker, facilitated discussion, professional development dialogue, and participant Q&A.
