Product management is evolving fast. As we look ahead to 2030, the role of the Product Manager is up for debate. Will we see product managers take greater ownership of commercial outcomes, stepping confidently into P&L accountability? Will AI reshape the way we work, pushing us to become more strategic or operational? Or are we headed back to a broader, more connective role, the PM as the hub, holding together teams, customers, data, and delivery?
Join us for a no-nonsense, forward-looking panel discussion that cuts through the hype and gets to the heart of what product managers need to do today to thrive tomorrow.
We'll hear from voices across the spectrum from those leveraging AI as a powerful co-pilot to those who believe great product management will always be human-first.
Come for the ideas, stay for the robust debate, and walk away with clear insights to help shape your next move in product.
