CONFERENCE TRACK 1

**SCALING IMPACT WITHOUT SCALING COSTS: BUILDING A PRODUCT OPS TEAM ON A BUDGET**

JULIA WISSEL (Product Director at MOIA, Berlin)
In this talk, Julia shares the journey of founding a dedicated Product Operations team at MOIA [a tech company within the Volkswagen Group, building software products enabling an on-demand Mobility service in Hamburg, Germany], overcoming budget constraints with creativity and resourcefulness. Learn how strategic stakeholder engagement, reallocation of existing resources to what matters most, and assembling a passionate team enabled transformational improvements in operational efficiency of how products are built at MOIA. Offering actionable insights and (hopefully) inspiring lessons, this session will empower product managers to drive impactful change, even in the face of limitations. Be inspired on how also you can drive meaningful change in your organization—no extra budget required.

**THE ANATOMY OF A RETENTION-LED GROWTH STRATEGY**
SALOME LANG (Head of Analytics at Sherpany, Zurich)
As more and more software companies recognize that retention will make or break their growth model, understanding and improving user retention becomes critical. Learn from Sherpany’s use case how we analyze user cohorts, combine user, customer, and activation data (like aha and habit moments) to extract clear action points, and how PMs can drive stickiness by asking their data teams better questions.

CONFERENCE TRACK 2
**DECODING PRODUCT STRATEGY: QUESTIONS, APPROACH AND MINDSET**
BANDAN JOT SINGH (Head of Product at Riverty, Amsterdam)
How to work towards a strategy that serves as a comprehensive but sharp-like-knife narrative that effectively communicates the directions necessary to succeed in the targeted market. It goes beyond merely informing leadership, but extending to all levels of the organization. In this talk, we go deep into 10 questions to answer while framing strategy, how to approach strategy creation depending on the stage of your role and the organisation, and finally which pitfalls to avoid.
**WORKING WITH PRODUCT PRINCIPLES**
NOAM BEN HAIM (Product Leader at Uber, Amsterdam)
Noam recently joined the product leadership team at Uber after having served as Director of Product at Booking.com and Checkout.com. Prior to that, he has been with Google between 2007 and 2019. His last position at Google involved leading the Flights and Packages product teams. Before, Ben Haim worked on Google Maps, leading all the directions related product, including Driving Directions, Public Transit, Road Traffic and more.

CLOSING KEYNOTE
**HOW LESS PRODUCT MANAGEMENT CAN BOOST YOUR CAREER**
ROBIN SIMON (CEO at Threema, Zurich)
What is product management really and do modern companies still need it? Why are product managers suddenly struggling to find career opportunities while a few years ago it was the hottest position out there? In this talk Simon will take a (personal) look at these and other questions and hopefully trigger a healthy discussion with you. PS: This talk might hurt a little, so he’ll add a few cute cat pictures to the slides...
Robin Simon is CEO of Threema, a leading secure communication provider. Before, he was the CPO of TX Markets, the CEO of CAR FOR YOU and for many years a serial entrepreneur. He loves travling through unconventional countries and is a dedicated photographer, writer and musician. He laughs loud and often.
