Online event

**Get ready to build apps and see how to turn them into *AGENTS!***

**What You'll Learn:**
AI agents sound exciting—until you try to build one and hit a wall.
This workshop is here to change that.
Whether you're technical or not, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how AI-powered tools work together—and how you can start building with them.
**💻 Bring your laptop—we’ll be building live.**

🍺 Drinks + Food provided (in-person only)

**Agenda:**
🔹 **Step 1: Build an AI-Powered App with Vercel**
Crystal Hatch will lead a hands-on workshop using **Vercel**, one of the top AI-first app builders. You’ll build alongside her, learning both the basics and some advanced capabilities.
**🔹 Step 2: Demo - Connect It All with Make(.com)**
Cody McDonald will demo **Make(.com)**, a workflow automation tool, showing how such tools connect apps, services, and data to build useful systems—no code required.
🔹 **Step 3: See It All in Action – Real AI Agent Demo**
Cody will demo a real AI agent that uses both an app builder and a workflow automation tool, both of which you will have just built with / seen.
🔹 **Step 4: See the bigger "Agent" picture**
Then we’ll walk through the **Agent Maturity Matrix**—so you can see how this demo fits into the bigger picture of what agents can become.

**✨ Bonus:**
You’ll also get a preview of future ProductTank Denver workshops where we’ll level up our agent-building skills step by step—from simple agents to more complex, autonomous agentic systems, together.

**💡 Why Attend?**
This isn’t another fluffy AI talk.
You’ll walk away with:

* Real hands-on experience
* Practical skills
* A clear mental model for how apps, workflows, and agents all fit together
* A roadmap to keep learning and building

**✅ RSVP: In-Person or Virtual**
**In-person spots are limited**, so grab your seat now!
Virtual spots are unlimited.
(If you are on the in-person waitlist and you don't get bumped into the attendance list by an hour or so before the event starts, you can change your RSVP to virtual and get the link then.)

"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*"

Product Vibe Coding and Prototyping: REPEAT ONLINE

Many product management teams struggle to deal with constant stakeholder requests. Let’s get you out of that rat race by changing the conversation. In this talk I’ll help you go from “dealing with requests” to “collaborative decision making.” By working with your stakeholders instead of against them, you can achieve your product goals without the constant negotiation and flip flop changes.

**About our Sponsor, Applecart**
Applecart is the leading technology company creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influe:nce. Historically, C-suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders that matter most to their business. The C-suites of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, nonprofits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business-critical decision makers and those they trust — from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available or fully permissioned data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them.

Originally developed to reach the most elite stakeholders in government, Applecart now empowers clients to reach their most important and hard-to-reach decision makers effectively, at scale, and across categories.
