Few of us went to school for Software Product Management. It wasn't even a widely understood field when we were starting our careers. It's still misunderstood! We want to excel at our jobs and build products that people love to use, but wondering if "am I doing this right?" can be confusing and demoralizing.
Don't waste your time and resources. You've worked too hard not to become the best Product Manager you can be.
We’ve put our own unique spin on a “virtual conference” that includes thought-provoking talks, interactive Q&A’s, professionally compiled notes, an exclusive podcast series, video networking, and more so you can learn not just on the day, but well beyond.
Who's behind INDUSTRY? Read our story.
Get internal stakeholders to think like product people and buy in to what the customer truly needs. As a result, you'll get more time from your engineers, budget for new tools and find more time to focus on higher-level strategy
Be more confident about testing your ideas, prioritizing your features, understanding data, building out your roadmap, and ultimately, managing your products and team better.
Get exposed to new ways of thinking about creating products, replete with actionable steps that you can immediately bring back to the office.
There are few places to connect with product people like you from around the world. At INDUSTRY Virtual, you have a chance to take part in “face to face” video networking sessions with other product people from around the world -- and stay in touch well beyond in our exclusive Slack community.
You've read the best product books. Listened to the best product podcasts. But have you ever wanted to connect with the people behind those and ask them, "Yeah, but what about my situation?" At INDUSTRY Virtual, you can.
