ProductTank Tbilisi | World Product Day 2020

This year we’re celebrating the 10th Anniversary of ProductTank, global series of product management meetups for product people, by product people.

And instead of a regular ProductTank Tbilisi meetup, we’ll be hosting a full-scale (albeit online) product conference and celebration — World Product Day.

The conference will feature talks, panel discussions, and workshops, and will be free to attend.

Here's the almost final agenda for the next, special ProductTank Tbilisi which will take place in the framework of World Product Day on May 27.
