LTP Events: AI, Product & What Actually Matters with Dr. Marily Nika

AI, Product & What Actually Matters with Dr. Marily Nika

LTP Events is coming to Melbourne — and this one is something special.

For one night only, we’re bringing one of the world’s most influential AI Product Leaders to our community. Based in Silicon Valley, Dr. Marily Nika is an award-winning GenAI Product Leader, bestselling author, Harvard Fellow, TED AI / TEDx speaker, and the creator of Maven’s first and top-rated AI PM Certification.

With 12+ years building at Google and Meta, a PhD in Machine Learning, and more than 20,000 students taught globally, Marily sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world product leadership. She’s been featured in Fortune and TechCrunch, recognised as Amplitude’s Most Influential Product Leader, Fortune 40 Under 40, and named among the Top 100 Women in Tech.

This is rare access to someone operating at the very highest levels of AI and product — and she’s joining us for an intimate, candid conversation with Brainmates CCO Kathryn Shepherd-King.

Together, they’ll explore what it really means to build AI-powered products today:

• Where the hype ends and hard decisions begin
• How GenAI is reshaping the role of product leaders
• What separates AI experiments from real impact
• And how to think clearly when the technology is moving faster than your roadmap

Expect thoughtful discussion, practical insights, and honest reflections from someone shaping the global AI product conversation in real time.

Surrounding the conversation is what LTP does best: a relaxed, no-pressure space to connect with fellow product leaders, builders, and thinkers navigating the same questions. Just smart people, meaningful dialogue, and conversations that continue long after the chat ends.
