StartUP Product Talks San Francisco

StartUP Product Talks is an event for people passionate about process necessary to guarantee that products are being developed that create, serve and invigorate the market, delight users, have design integrity, inspire ecosystems and make a difference for every human involved with breathing life into and consuming that product. We started StartUp Product Talks to facilitate conversations about the many common challenges faced by people who identify as professional product managers, AND those who are responsible for managing products from inception through launch and even sunsetting, AND people with the title and/or in the department of Product Manager, Product Marketing Manager, Product Management, Agile Product Manager, Agile Product Owner.... AND people who develop products, are responsible for products, design products, manage product communities and are concerned with the success of products, the positioning of products, the narrative attached to products, AND companies that produce products including Startups, lean agile organizations, established corporations, AND you! Come share, learn and network about the art AND discipline of all the facets involved in the process of breathing life into a product, managing actionable goals and producing scalable businesses... To fuel discussion, we might prepare a focus for each event; Product Shoot Out, Product Manager Round Table... We encourage open debate so the group can learn from us and each other. On occasions, "StartUp Product Talks" may be led by a guest speaker or a panel of experts. "StartUp Product Talks" is also a networking function. An opportunity for Product Managers, Strategists, Developers, User Experience, Community Managers, Marketers, etc., to come together to meet, interact, and network. The ideal environment within which sharing and learning can flourish and complement the knowledge base for all on a peer to peer basis. We're keen for Product Managers across different industries to meet up and exchange business cards. You never know where your next job offer will come from. Please come with strong opinions and a desire to voice them!

In between face to face events, listen to Global Product Management Talk broadcasts: for product professionals who can't leave their desks to participate in Product Talks, we bring them to you! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/prodmgmttalk
