Join ProductTank Valencia in October for an evening at the intersection of technology, user experience, and product strategy.

This month, we welcome Mirela Mus, Founder and CPO of Product People — Europe’s premier destination for Product Management services. Mirela has led product teams for over 12 years, supporting organizations like eBay, DeepL, and the World Health Organization, as well as numerous VC- and PE-backed ventures.

She’ll share how Lean Startup principles, Agile approaches, and Business Model Innovation can work together to create products users love — and how to integrate emerging technologies without losing sight of user experience. Mirela will also discuss the evolving role of product engineers, from building features to owning outcomes and driving innovation in fast-moving startups.

This is your chance to:

* Gain practical insights from a seasoned product leader
* Connect with peers in Valencia’s growing product community
* Stay ahead of trends in software product management

Come curious, leave connected — and ready to take your product game to the next level.

Join us for the next ProductTank meetup on October 14th at 6:30 pm!

**The Power of Alignment: From Teams to Stakeholders**

Great products don’t happen in silos. They happen when teams and stakeholders are aligned around purpose, trust, and outcomes.

At this ProductTank Lisbon, our two speakers will share:

* How to influence and align stakeholders across your organisation.
* How to build purpose-driven teams that deliver lasting impact.

Join us for practical insights and real stories on how alignment unlocks better products — and better product leaders.

ProductTank Curitiba: Edição Outubro de 2025

Rentcars

**"Your Org Isn’t Conflict-Averse — It’s Conflict-Entangled!"**
Join us for an inspiring evening with France-based author and global keynote speaker **Kate Leto** as she discusses *How Avoiding Tension Creates More of It in Your Product Org*.

**🗓️ Date:** October 15th
**⏰ Time:** 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM
**📍 Location:** New Adyen Office, 333 N Green St

## What to Expect

* **Keynote:** Conflict in our product orgs isn’t just the shouting match in the boardroom. It’s quieter and way more awkward. It’s the sprint review where everyone pretends to agree, the roadmap that gets polite nods before getting torn apart in Slack, and the “meeting after the meeting” where, surprise, the real decisions happen.
A “conflict-averse” culture doesn’t have less conflict — it has more: back channels, stalled decisions, eroded trust, and product visions that never materialize. And as AI makes our tools feel seamless, our tolerance for human messiness shrinks, making those hidden knots even harder to face.
In this talk, Kate will share ways to spot the tangles, name what’s really going on, and create the conditions for clearer decisions, stronger teams, and products that actually ship.
* **Fireside Chat moderated by a Chicago Product Leader**.
* **Q&A and Networking:** Connect with fellow product professionals, ask Kate your burning questions, and share your own experiences.

**Don’t miss this chance to learn from one of the product world’s most insightful and globally respected voices. Reserve your spot now and get ready to rethink how your personal narrative can shape the future of your products!**

**Wie man Probleme mit Design löst.**

Um in der aktuellen KI-Wende Schritt zu halten, braucht es laut dem World Economic Forum vier entscheidende Kompetenzen: Neugier, Kreativität, analytisches Denken und die Fähigkeit zum lebenslangen Lernen. In dieser Session zeigt euch Hardy, wie sich diese Fähigkeiten spielerisch trainieren lassen und welchen entscheidenden Beitrag Design dabei leisten kann. Auch wenn für PO, UX und PM Menschen diese Skills nichts Neues sind, verfallen sie doch oft im Daily Doing ins Schema F und werden lazy was das Training angeht. Zeige, dass Du die extra Meile gehst und komm zu unserem ProductTank mit Hardy.

**How to solve problems with design.**

According to the World Economic Forum, four key skills are needed to keep pace with the current AI revolution: curiosity, creativity, analytical thinking and the ability to engage in lifelong learning. In this session, Hardy will show you how these skills can be trained in a playful way and what a crucial contribution design can make in this regard. Even though these skills are nothing new for PO, UX and PM people, they often fall into a rut in their daily work and become lazy when it comes to training. Show that you go the extra mile and come to our ProductTank with Hardy.
