Applied AI for Product Management - June 2025

There's always a lot to talk about when you bring a bunch of product thinkers into the room.

So much of how our profession is evolving points to leaning harder on technology, going faster, and becoming a production multiplier. We're excited to invite long-time product leader, Joe Ruekert, to disrupt this trend.

Joe's session with us is: The Death of the Backlog: Why the Future of Product Management Is More Human Than Ever.

His depth of experience leading product at Ameriprise, Target and other Fortune 50 companies, plus is current role at Careforth is sure to bring us new perspectives.

We'll certainly have time for additional topics. Be sure to bring your stories, questions, side projects, and discussion topics. Our community is always eager to offer insights, ideas, and suggestions for navigating tough challenges.
