Judgment in the Fog: Making Better Product Decisions in the Age of AI

Judgment in the Fog: Making Better Product Decisions in the Age of AI

Tue, Nov 10, 10:30 PM
From ProductTank Columbus
4.8

**The Product Skills AI Can't Replace** AI can synthesize research, analyze data, and prioritize work. But when everything feels important and there’s no clear right answer, how do you decide what matters most? Join **ProductTank Columbus** and **Mike Belsito, Head of Product Evangelism at Pendo and Mind the Product**, to explore three practical habits for cutting through the noise, uncovering the real problem behind stakeholder requests, and prioritizing work that makes the greatest impact. **AI can help you process more information. Great product judgment helps you know what to do with it.** Doors open at **5:30 PM**, and the talk begins at **6:00 PM**, followed by Q&A and time to connect. Food and drinks will be provided by ZoCo, our generous host. Parking is available directly behind ZoCo and in the lot across the street. \*Towing will not be enforced in the paid lot on the day of the event.

Beyond the Screen: Designing Products for the Spatial Computing Era

Beyond the Screen: Designing Products for the Spatial Computing Era

Tue, Oct 27, 9:30 PM
From ProductTank Columbus
4.8

For decades, product teams have translated a three-dimensional world into two-dimensional interfaces. We’ve gotten incredibly good at taps, clicks, menus, and scrolls—but what if the screen was never the destination? **ProductTank Columbus welcomes Omari Hitson, VP Lead Product Designer: Emerging Technologies at JPMorgan Chase and President of the Ohio Chapter of the VR/AR Association, for a practical look at what changes when digital products move beyond the screen and into the world around us.** Omari Hitson designs where emerging technology meets real-world product problems. He has experience designing and prototyping across the evolution from traditional mobile and desktop experiences to spatial computing—all within a regulated enterprise environment where new technology has to solve an actual problem, not simply generate excitement. He also serves as Chapter President of the VR/AR Association of Ohio and hosts the OhioXR conferences, putting him at the center of Ohio’s growing XR community. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

Sun, Nov 1, 3:00 PM
From Urban Sketching Boot Camp Practice Sessions

**🌿 Skin, Hair, Brows, Jawline: A Men's Looks Session** Most glow-up advice is either a list of 50 products or a pitch for a procedure. This live session on Zoom walks through what actually matters, in the order it matters, without surgery. Written with men in mind: skin that looks rested, a haircut and beard line that frame the jaw, brows and posture. Before the session you answer a five-minute questionnaire and add one front photo. Your face is measured from 478 points and you get your own **tailored program**: which changes suit your face shape and goals, in what order, with costs and timelines. Everyone booked at this time joins the same live session, and each person's program is built for their own face. Everything is non-surgical, and every step comes with what it costs and how good the evidence for it is. **An RSVP on its own won't get you in.** Register through the link below to book your place. ### [🪞 GET YOUR TAILORED PROGRAM 🪞](https://looksmaxplan.vercel.app/product/LooksmaxProgram?productType=LooksmaxProgram-men-looks&audience=men&city=Columbus&groupurlname=urban-sketching-boot-camp-practice-sessions&productId=500301&startgmtdatetime=2026-11-01T15:00:00Z) --- ✅ **What you get:** - A live 60-minute session on Zoom - Non-surgical only, nothing to inject - Costs, timelines and the evidence for every step - Questions answered live - Your own tailored program, built from your answers and one photo - Your face measurements and face shape For adults (18+).
