ProductTank Tallinn: What Claude Actually Changes in Product Work
***\*\*\*\*Please note this is an offline event with limited space. RSVP only if you will be able to attend in person.\*\*\*\****
**Date & Time:** June 4\, 2026 \| Doors open at 18:00
**Location:** Bondora, Tallinn Park Tondi Business Center
Join ProductTank Tallinn and [Bondora](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bondora-capital/posts/?feedView=all) for a practical after-work evening exploring how Claude AI is genuinely changing the way product managers work. Not another AI hype talk — this one is grounded in real workflows, honest trade-offs, and the kind of hands-on experience that actually moves the needle in a PM’s week.
Two practitioners will share what they’ve learned from integrating Claude into their day-to-day: where it saves meaningful time, where it still falls short, and why discovery, customer intuition, and context remain firmly in human hands. Whether you’re just getting started with AI tools or already deep in prompt engineering, there’s something here for every experience level.
**Speakers:**
* [Almonzer Eskandar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/almonzereskandar/) — Founder at [Najed AI](https://najed.ai/) and Senior AI PM at [Manychat](https://manychat.com/)
* [Anna-Liisa Reinson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alreinson/) — Founder at [Produktize](https://www.linkedin.com/company/produktize/posts/?feedView=all) and Visiting CPO at [Webware](https://www.linkedin.com/company/webwarewd/)

Baltic Connect - Tallinn - June 2026
🔹 **AWS Baltic Connect - Everything You Wanted to Know About the Cloud**
*By the Community, For the Community*
Business leaders and IT professionals across the Baltics face the same challenge: how to set up and evolve IT infrastructure to meet growing business demands while keeping pace with the rapid shifts in technology.
On-premise setups give control, cloud provides flexibility and rapid scaling, and multicloud combines the best of both worlds - resilience, choice, and agility.
**The key question is** when to stay on your own servers, when to move to the cloud, when to embrace multicloud strategies, how to prepare for innovations like quantum computing and how to balance technical innovation with economic realities.
At **AWS Baltic Connect**, we’ll uncover strategies, tools, and real-world case studies to help you navigate cloud adoption without unnecessary risk or compromise.
No theory in the clouds ☁️ - only practical insights from companies and tech leaders across the region.

Love languages? 👅 Want to practice speaking? Come to our meetup!
*How does it work? Simple!*
👉 Make a name tag with your name and languages that you speak/learn!
👉 Look for someone who has a language you want to practice - and strike a conversation!
*Important:*
* **Be comfortable to "eavesdrop"** **on a conversation** in a fascinating language you are not ready to speak yet - "I just want to listen" is a thing! ☝😎
* If someone joins you with this intention - **don't switch to English** (as you normally would, because you don't want to exclude your friend from a conversation!) - but in this setting - **keep talking!** You are giving others an opportunity to listen! 😁👂
Well, this is it... we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday! Let's discover unexpected language matches together! 🤩

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited
**About the host**
Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
