Product Manager, New Innovations, Inc.
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.
Come to INDUSTRY: The Product Conference and learn the latest methods, tools, and frameworks used to build, launch and scale world-class software products.
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.

You've read the best product books. Listened to the best product podcasts. But have you ever wanted to have a coffee or lunch with the people behind those and ask them, "Yeah, but what about my situation?" At INDUSTRY, you can.

"Enough time has passed for me to reflect a little on what we heard at the INDUSTRY conference in Cleveland last week. This was the first Conference I had been to in some time and the first that was not directly related to lean-agile. The Conference was excellent - great speakers, great agenda, and networking with 700 diverse people who are passionate about Product Management."

Product Manager, DocStation
"Last week in Cleveland, more than 1,200 attendees showed up at the Cleveland Public Auditorium to talk product. For three days, the conference was buzzing with an all-star lineup of product managers, leaders, and luminaries from over 30 countries discussing the latest methods, tools, and frameworks to build, launch, and scale software products."

"Overall, I left this conference exhausted from all the learning and humbled by the collective wisdom of the speakers, attendees, organizers, and sponsors. As a newbie, I felt welcomed and accepted from the start. It was a great experience, and I’d recommend INDUSTRY to any new or experienced product manager."
