INDUSTRY Product Conference 2021

Few of us went to school for Software Product Management. It wasn't even a widely understood field when we were starting our careers. It's still misunderstood! We want to excel at our jobs and build products that people love to use, but wondering if "am I doing this right?" can be confusing and demoralizing.

Don't waste your time and resources. You've worked too hard not to become the best Product Manager you can be.

Use INDUSTRY to learn the latest methods, tools, and frameworks used to build, launch and scale world-class software products.
