NOTE: this is a 2nd chance to catch one of our most popular sessions of the year if you missed it in-person or want to do it again...

If you're not using genAI for your product management work yet, or if you are but feeling like you haven't found the best ways to improve your outcomes, this one is for you.

"Vibe Coding" is the buzz for the hottest new coding language: english. Building prototypes, agents, product management tools, on the fly and in the flow, using plain language. Does it work? What are the ins and outs? We'll cover..
•⁠ ⁠When to use it and maybe when not to
•⁠ Some of the risks and pitfalls
•⁠ ⁠⁠Tools & tips and real-world examples
•⁠ ⁠⁠Input from technical and PM panelists

We're delighted to bring you a repeat performance of a must-attend event for PMs and all product-related professionals that offers the low-down on genAI powered product work, with a special focus on CodeGen (coding apps and prototypes) and how to quickly understand and prototype Agentic solutions.

Testimonials from the in-person session:

**Neil Crane**, "*I think that might have been the best one yet*"

**Naila Zagrouba**, "*I left inspired, curious, and even more excited about the future of AI in product work.*"

**Gavin Hupp**, "*I had a blast at the [Mind the Product](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mind-the-product/) Product Tank meetup with hands on Vibe Coding and demos from [Curtis Michelson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/curtismichelson/) and [Martin Alaimo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/malaimo/)*"

*Presenters*:

**Martin Alaimo** is a Central Florida-based product leader. The creator of two successful startups and a top-notch Product and Agile trainer across The Americas.

**Curtis Michelson** is a reporter for InnoLead covering the GenAI space, and a strategic change coach that works with executive leadership on chasing and achieving their biggest ambitions.

**Hey Product People!** 👋

We’re back with **ProductTank Stuttgart #2** — and this time, we’re diving deep into what it *really* means to become a **product-led organization**.
Join us for two real-world talks packed with insights, lessons, and behind-the-scenes stories from product folks who've been in the thick of it — transforming ways of working and building products from the ground up.

**Talk 1: Becoming Product-Led – Adopting the Product Operating Model**

What does it take to shift a company toward outcome over output and put customer-centricity at its core? **Jannik Filthuth** has been leading this transformation at AEB, driving the adoption of the Product Operating Model across teams and leadership.
➞ Great for anyone navigating change at the organisational level.

**Talk 2: From 0 to 1 – Building a Product with Design Thinking from Day One**

Over the past 3 years, **Achim Ritz** worked on bringing a brand-new product to life — starting with product principles from the ground up. He’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and tips for PMs in similar early-stage phases.
➞ Great for anyone curious how effective product-led teams work in action.

📅 **Date & Time:** 24 July 2025, 18:30-20:30
📍 **Location:** AEB SE @ Sigmaringer Str. 109, 70567 Stuttgart

ProductTank Stuttgart #2 - Becoming Product-led

AEB SE

Hello,
We hope you are having a great summer and keeping well hydrated in the latest heat wave.
We had a fantastic Product on the Tyne conference in June, and we can't believe how fast the time has flown. It is time again for our monthly meetup, and this July promises to be a special one.
As we seek to make ProductTank Newcastle to become even more inclusive of all individual domains that work as part of product teams (i.e design, development, researchers, analysts etc), we are pleased to have with 2 speakers this month, representing product management and development domains.

The event details are as follows:

**Date:** Wednesday, 30th July, 2025.
**Time:** 6PM-8:30PM
**Venue:** hedgehog lab, One Strawberry Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4BX

**Speaker 1: Toby Rogers** (Head of Product @hedgehoglab)
**Talk title:** Prototypes Are the New PRDs
What if you could test product ideas like Tony Stark builds Iron Man suits? Quickly, interactively, and without waiting on a full team?
In this lightning talk, Toby Rogers explores how AI prototyping tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Magic Patterns are reshaping product management.
PMs can now turn rough ideas into testable prototypes in minutes, supercharging learning, reducing waste, and making better bets. This isn’t about bypassing design or engineering, it’s about bringing sharper thinking to the table before the real building begins.
