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 in Dublin, Ireland in the Spring, or Cleveland, Ohio in the Fall, 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.
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.

“Speakers directly addressed the reality that as product people we are often hired to work on established products. It is not all about “finding fit”, often it is about what to do next when relationship, motion, and sometimes fatigue, are already a reality.”
Product Specialist at Derivco

Find out how to move beyond customer focus to “customer obsession” via consumer science to discover what delights customers in hard-to-copy, margin-enhancing ways. Learn how to get insight from four sources of consumer insight, then evaluate these ideas through various research techniques. Gib will illustrate these tactics using examples from Netflix, then, put the techniques into practice with a highly interactive, modern-day Netflix case.
Group manager for data platforms at Indeed
Building great technology products is difficult — scaling them presents even more challenges. The sheer amount of data now available can help with decision making for your products, and many companies are striving to be more data-driven. Data is only the start of the solution. Without a consistent process for consuming this data and deriving meaningful insights, you can end up with lower quality decisions. Teams can become distracted by the noise of large quantities of data and miss vital information. Thankfully, you can rely on scientific principles to refine and scope your use of data; so that you’re asking the right questions at the right time in search of meaningful answers that will help you improve your products. In this talk, I will introduce you to key data science concepts and illustrate how to use them in making robust decisions at scale. This talk leverages established principles from statistics, information theory, economics, and machine learning, to supply your team with a shared vernacular and evaluation framework. There will be math, but also practical examples of how we do it well (and occasionally badly) at Indeed.
