How De-Risking Big Bets Can Drive Impactful Product Innovation
Former CPO at Hinge and Product Leader at Netflix & Spotify
Break your strategy down into component pieces, clarify the big bets that you want to take, and then de-risk those by 1) identifying your core hypotheses, 2) identifying the data that's informing those hypotheses, and 3) testing those in a very easy low risk way that minimizes your resource investment (you don’t always have to create something net new!)
Building Better Tech: The Product Manager's Role in Infrastructure & Platform Engineering
VP of Product, Vimeo
Engineering platform and infrastructure teams can benefit immensely from having dedicated Product Managers on board to drive outcomes and ultimately help those teams deliver on the most impactful initiatives while spending less time on interruptions and distractions. In this session, you will learn what makes engineering platform Product Managers different from feature team Product Managers (spoiler alert: it's basically the same, start with the customer and work backwards from there, but different in that we kick things up a few notches), how Product Managers can add value, build trust, and get established on strong engineering teams, and finally, how to love life as a Product Manager on these teams!
Designers and Product Managers: Leveling Up Product Development and Each Other
VP of Design, Medium
This talk focuses on the practical ways in which Product Managers can collaborate and communicate effectively with designers to create successful products. It explores the unique perspectives that designers bring to the table, the challenges that may arise when partnering with Product Managers, and offers practical tips for overcoming them.
The Future of Product Management
CEO at Product School
This presentation discusses the future of Product Management in the context of digital transformation. It will highlight the rise of the Chief Product Officer (CPO) in Fortune 100 companies and explain how this creates more opportunities for Product Professionals across different industries. The talk will also emphasize the importance of upskilling and training as a retention lever for Product Teams. Finally, we’ll explore how Product-Led Growth will be critical for companies to thrive, and how implementing a Product-Led Growth motion can help companies attract new customers, as well as retain and upsell current customers.
Revolutionizing the Customer Experience: Innovating and Scaling Within Enterprise Organizations
VP of Product, American Express
During this session, learn insights and best practices from Margaret Ryan, Amex's VP of Emerging Payments Product Management, on delivering meaningful Product experiences within a large organization, leveraging Amex’s journey to partner with Google to provide customers with a virtual card number (VCN) autofill experience–which completed its roll out in March of 2023.
Breaking Down Silos—Driving Product Knowledge in Product-Adjacent Roles
VP of Growth, MoEngage
(Moderator)
Head of Product Operations, Amplitude
SVP, Product and Engineering, Quantum Metric

Product Leadership - from FAANG to Traditional Media
Head of Product at Dow Jones
This talk explores the differences and similarities in Product Management practices between technology companies and legacy companies. Drawing on experiences gained from working at a major tech firm and a legacy company, this talk will give you valuable insights into how Product Management approaches differ across industries. Additionally, the talk provides guidance on how to navigate the transition between the two, as more non-tech companies embrace Product Management. This is a must-watch session for Product Managers seeking to deepen their understanding of the nuances of Product Management practices in different industries.
How to Get Promoted and Look Good Doing It (or at Least Not Get Laid Off)
Former VP of Product, Match
Learn how to get promoted in Product. You need to put yourself in your manager's shoes and understand: What does their story about you need to be in order for you to get promoted? What case can they make for you to their higher-ups? And what actions can you take to convince them to vouch for you?
Making Products in GenAI’s World
VP of Product, LinkedIn
If you're a Product Manager or aspiring Product Manager, you need to know about AI and generative AI. In the future we'll see AI in every single product we use, so it's essential that our builders stay up to date on the possibilities and limitations of AI solutions.
