💬 The Topic
Our speakers will take you behind the scenes of real product failures – from misread market demands to unsuccessful launches and strategic missteps. Rather than dwelling on the failures themselves, each story will highlight the crucial insights gained and how these lessons led to future successes.

✨ Our Speakers
David Bélanger
David has been involved in product and strategy roles for more than 15 years, and he currently is a Manager of Digital products at Intact, specializing on Growth. Through his experience at both startups (nesto) and consultancies (nurun, Sid Lee, etc), he has experienced successes and failures of different scales and contexts. He is particularly interested in how we can plan for failure, through experimentation, and turn it into a learning tool. David is also a mentor at APM Montreal.

Max Regaudie
Maxence Rregaudie began as a developer six years ago and is now a Lead Product Manager at Horizon, a Web3 startup. He helps lead Sequence, a platform designed to simplify blockchain development. Specializing in developer-focused products, Maxence advocates a fail-fast approach to innovation. His experience at Ubisoft, Coveo, and Alayacare has taught him how to embrace failure as a learning tool, using it to drive better decisions and more resilient products.
