We’re back with another round of raw, honest stories from product leaders who’ve learned the hard way that failure can be the best teacher.
Join us on November 19th for two unfiltered talks on what happens when things *don’t* go according to plan — and the lessons that only real-life experience can teach.

#### **Speakers:**

* **[Frank Leue](https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankleue/)** – Independent Product Leader (former CPTO at Flaschenpost)
Topic: *Starving to Death Building a Restaurant App*
* **[Nico Chirio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolaschirio/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolaschirio/)– [Agilar.com](Agilar.com)
Topic: *A digital transformation at a big telco didn’t go where we wanted. Our nimble digital squads were absorbed by the big IT department.*

#### **Location:**

Hosted by [Smallpdf](https://smallpdf.com/).
Steinstrasse 21, 8003 Zürich

#### **What to Expect**

* Short 15-minute stories packed with honest learnings.
* An open Q&A where nothing’s off-limits.
* Networking with fellow product folks over drinks and good conversation.

#### **About Our Host:**

We’re thrilled to be hosted by **[Smallpdf](https://smallpdf.com/)**. What started as a simple idea to make PDFs easy has grown into a global productivity platform used by millions every month. Their Zurich office provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of learning, sharing, and connecting over product challenges and wins.
