Join us for a series of lightening talks on the ways in which AI and ML are reshaping how we build software products. Come away with a set of new tools and tactics you can leverage in your Product practice, as well as an understanding of best practices to apply when managing AI products.

During the evening you will hear from 3 experts on this topic:

**Felicia Schwartz** is the founder of Bridgeway Digital Advisors. She has helped organizations drive growth through implementation of products
using the right technology and processes. Her background is in both
engineering and product management. She will discuss how the Advent of GenAI will impact the role of the Product Manager

**Jim Thomson** is a product manager and leader with more than 10 years PM experience across data, music, AI, and cloud computing. He lives with his wife and son in Brooklyn. Last year, a small team in a large data organization ran an experiment to leverage LLMs to improve Data Discovery. It worked - fast. Jim will share what we did and what they learned.

**Emerson Taymor** is an entrepreneur who is currently the SVP of Design at InfoBeans. He co-founded the digital product studio, Philosophie, where he worked with enterprise executives and startup founders to launch over 300 digital products before it was acquired by InfoBeans. Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance, a time of explosive cultural and economic growth, Emerson will explore how GenAI is poised to revolutionize product development. He will share specific use cases (and pitfalls) on global collaboration, user research, and product development processes.
