ProductTank Heidelberg July 2022 edition - World Product Day

ProductTank Heidelberg is celebrating World Product Day 2022 with the first in-person event of 2022! The theme of this year's WPD is "Product firsts". So, the product people in and around Heidelberg do not miss this opportunity. We have not one but two events combined. We will start with our Keynote speaker Konstantin Diener talking about Product Discovery, followed by an Ask Me Anything session with Harsh Jegadeesan on the topics of product-led organisation and product leadership.

The event is free; however we have limited seats, and registration is required for organisational purposes. Some refreshments will be provided.
