Should You Even BE a Product Manager?

We’re excited to kick off 2026 with a blast of a topic: Should you even be a product manager?

Ever wondered what it actually looks like to be a product manager day to day, and what people don’t tell you until you’re already in it? At this meetup, we’ll unpack the realities of the role, the tradeoffs and ambiguity, and the signals that PM might be a great fit for you or not. It’s a safe space to ask the spicy questions, get honest answers, and leave with more clarity than you came in with.

✨ Our Speakers

• Charlie Whicher , Sr PM @ Flare
• Jason Brynford-Jones, Author of The Product Manual
• Laura Di Costanzo, Head of Product @ Stay22
