Product Networking & Micro-Talks
x+why Foundry, 6 Brindley Place, Birmingham, GBAs our ProductTank community grows bigger than ever before, we’ve listened to your feedback about wanting more time to meet the interesting people in the Room. So, join us for an evening dedicated to the most valuable asset in our industry: The Community.
As product professionals, we spend our days fixing, hustling, and shipping, often at the expense of the very networking and knowledge-sharing that helps us grow. Tonight’s event is about changing that. Whether you’re a Founder, Product Manager, Designer, Developer, Product adjacent or Student, this is your space to share stories, listen to hard-earned experiences, and connect with the peers navigating the same shifting landscape as you.
We’ll do this with a more relaxed version of facilitated networking, with a gentle structuring so you can get around the whole room. There is also the opportunity to take the stand yourself (optional) to share your own stories. Or jump up and ask the Room for some feedback on your problem? Surprise us.
