Join us for a discussion
on the future of product management

Should product managers have a technical background?

What’s the ideal composition of a product team?

Should companies make their roadmap public?

Who has the final say on product design?

Do these questions sound familiar? If you’re a product person — designer, engineer, or product manager — you’ve probably debated these questions with others on your team and at other companies.

Join us September 13 to hear our panel of product leaders weigh in on these, and other hotly debated questions in product and design.
