Start: 2025-12-09T18:00:00.000Z
Location: GuruWalk HQ

Every company with digital products does product management — the question is *who* is doing it, and *how well*. There are many ways for roles and expectations to overlap in confusing ways, leaving product managers feeling frustrated or overwhelmed.

For our next event we will host Mišo Duplančič, a seasoned product leader and consultant whose journey lead him from software engineer to VP of product management at Loftware, a global leader in Label Management Software.

In his talk, Mišo will show how Product Management fits into the wider organisation and how product people can elevate their impact, product managers by better understanding and navigating their environment, and product leaders by actively shaping their organisations to enable great product work.

After his session, Mišo will be joined by Gregor Smrekar (ex. Celtra) and Jure Repnik (Mesi Medical) for a round table discussion.

**Product people from companies of all sizes** (that's you, the audience!) will get a chance to share experiences and what worked for them and their organisation, both by participating in the round table discussion as well as in the networking session that will follow.

**About the speaker:**
**Mišo Duplančič** led product management at NiceLabel, one of Slovenia’s most successful software companies, operating in the supply chain sector. Following NiceLabel's integration with Loftware, a US-based competitor, he became VP of Product Management for the entire Loftware organization, overseeing a product portfolio generating $100M annually. Mišo is passionate about creating great products, he recently transitioned to consulting, specializing in product strategy, product management and growth initiatives.

**About the panelists:**
**Gregor Smrekar** is a freelance consultant to scaleups and a mentor to founders and senior leaders. A 35-year software industry generalist, he blends Product, Engineering, GTM, and org design to help companies scale with clarity and speed. Former COO at HERMES SoftLab/ComTrade and Celtra, he built and scaled Engineering as well as Support, Customer Success, BI, and Product Management. In the last five years he has advised leaders at 40+ startups/scaleups. He’s passionate about empowered teams—and about simply getting things done.

**Jure Repnik** is a Product Manager at MESI, building connected medical devices and digital solutions that improve how healthcare professionals interact with technology.

📍 This time we'll be guests at **Celtra**. Their software solutions empower marketers, media platforms, and agencies to push the limits of digital advertising and have been one of the biggest success stories on the Slovenian tech landscape since their establishment in 2006. Our thanks for providing the venue and treating all guests to pizza and drinks! 🍕🙌🏻

### 🍻📚 **Holiday Drinks & Book Exchange**

The next ProductTank Porto event will be a casual end-of-year meet-up. The idea is very simple. Each participant brings a book, places it on the table, and then chooses another book to take home. A small exchange, full of meaning.

We want this end-of-year meetup to be an evening of sharing, connection, and great conversations. A moment to celebrate everything we achieved this year — the talks, the workshops, the community growth, the new friendships, and all the learning moments that made 2025 such an inspiring journey for ProductTank Porto. It will also be a time to look ahead and reflect on our wishes and ambitions for 2026.

May 2026 bring new ideas, new opportunities, and the courage to follow the paths that inspire us most.

END-OF-YEAR Event: Holiday Drinks & Book Exchange

Catraio - Craft Beer Shop

Switching products, teams, or domains is part of every product manager’s journey—but doing it efficiently and effectively is a real challenge. Over the last few years, Anna had to jump into completely new areas multiple times, while still delivering meaningful results quickly.

In this talk, Anna will share a practical framework she developed to onboard into new areas with confidence and speed. We’ll explore how to structure your learning, identify the key pillars of impact early, and avoid the common pitfalls of starting from scratch. Whether you’re stepping into a new role or inheriting an unfamiliar product, this approach will help you build momentum faster and make smart decisions sooner.
