Amazingly, it’s been 10 years since we first hosted INDUSTRY in Cleveland, Ohio. The time has flown by, and along the way, we’ve grown in ways we never imagined. Now, as part of Mind the Product, we’ve given the conference a fresh lick of paint — and just as we promised on stage last year, it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before.
Look forward to a stacked lineup of product luminaries from around the globe delivering inspiring keynotes, facilitating interactive peer-to-peer learning experiences, hosting deep-dive workshops and so much more. We can’t wait to see you there.

“I have attended INDUSTRY for the past 2 years and it continues to be the most valuable conference I have ever attended. They had to kick us out of the auditorium this year, because we didn't want it to end.”
Product Manager, InboxDollars Inc.
"EXCELLENT conference for product professionals - first class in every way. One of the best conferences I've ever been to, and I've been going to conferences for 20+ years!”
MSTS, Sr. Product Manager
"The Creators of this conference thought about everything. That made it a fantastic experience. Many opportunities to learn, network, and be among peers going through similar challenges."

"The go-to conference for Product People."
Product Manager, Stretto

MSTS, Sr. Product Manager
A LOT of great and REALLY great content targeted toward PMs. It was fabulous and inspiring. I will definitely be coming back next year with some PM buds and co-workers.
Sr. Director of Product, OnBoard
INDUSTRY was the best work-related/industry conference I've been to. A great diversity of speakers and attendees. Loved that I could connect with product people working in range of product roles at all levels of seniority. Everyone was very accessible and open to share experiences.
Wisr
Speakers were inspiring; content useful; conference was energizing. Great to have a conference specifically for product management!
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.
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 in person with product people like you from around the world. At INDUSTRY, you have a unique opportunity to meet hundreds for 2-3 days and find ways to learn from each other and collaborate.
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.

Your team has no shortage of ideas—but how do you decide which ones are worth pursuing to make a real impact?
Founder, LEANSTUDIO
Too many product decisions stall because stakeholder dynamics aren’t well managed. Stakeholder ecosystems are often complex, and navigating them is one of the most critical skills in product.

This half-day workshop experience is specifically designed to help product managers and leaders understand the strategic differences between AI at the Edge and AI at the Core, and how to develop effective product strategies for each approach.
"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."

"The INDUSTRY Conference 2022 was an amazing experience, from the venue, to the presentations, to the networking connections, and even the food! I came back to work feeling invigorated and renewed in the vision, ready to hit the ground running with the practical knowledge I gained. I loved every minute and can't wait to come back next year!"
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."
Alpha
"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."
Product Manager at Moraware
