The Best Annual Product Management Conferences

Product managers are fortunate to have more and more conferences geared specifically toward them with each passing year. The knowledge and insights available at these events are invaluable for professional growth and staying ahead in the field. If you’re looking to learn about industry trends and emerging strategies—and grow as a product leader—take a look at these must-attend product manager conferences.

Why Attend Product Management Conferences?

At product management conferences, you’ll hear from product experts and peers across various industries about their experiences, how they’ve built successful products, which new tools they’re leveraging, and how they’re optimizing their roadmaps and prioritization techniques for a continuously changing world. You’ll also find opportunities for:

  • Professional development. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments that can help you be more efficient and effective. Learn about new trends, best practices, and techniques in product management. 
  • Networking. Connect with other product managers and industry professionals. It’s the perfect time to share ideas and experiences and build professional relationships that can be beneficial in your next move.
  • Inspiration and new ideas. Hear about the successes and challenges of others in the field. This can spark new thoughts and creativity for ways to approach your own work.
  • Industry expertise. Stay connected with the larger product management community and learn about what's happening in the industry. You’ll get up to date on new products, competitors, and market trends.

Tips for making the most of conference attendance

Conferences are a lot like going to the gym. Your results will depend on the amount of effort you put in. If you’re wondering how to get the most out of your next product management conference, here’s some advice on getting the best ROI out of your ticket. 

  • Prepare in advance. With so many sessions to choose from, it’s best to have a plan ready when you get there. Take a good look at the agenda and make up a schedule of presentations and workshops you want to attend. 
  • Have a networking plan. It can be hard to break the ice when it’s time for that first networking session. Preparing a few questions ahead of time is a great way to keep the conversation flowing. It can be as simple as asking what brought them to a particular session or what they’ve enjoyed most about the conference so far. 
  • Engage in workshops. Actively participate in workshops and breakout sessions when the opportunity arises. Just like getting ready to network, having a few questions ready ahead of time can help, especially if you have difficulty thinking on the spot. Reviewing the workshop agenda and speaker list ahead is the perfect place to start if you’re not sure what to ask.  
  • Keep in touch. Once you get someone’s contact info, don’t forget to follow up when the conference is over. You don’t have to send a lengthy email. Simply letting your new potential contact know it was nice to meet will suffice. If you discussed a topic that piqued your interest, that’s a great segue to asking if you can chat more over coffee sometime. 

Benefits of attending virtual conferences and online events

While face to face networking and in-person presentations bring an exciting energy to the room, there are still several advantages to attending virtual conferences. Remote conferences make these exclusive conversations more accessible and often cost less to attend. You also won’t have to worry about travel and lodging accommodations. You might even be able to squeeze a quick session in without disrupting your typical work day.

If networking is your top priority, check for events that include virtual networking sessions or talks accompanied by breakout room discussions. Just like in-person events, preparing ahead with a few questions makes it much easier to get the ball rolling once it’s your turn to go off mute. 

Grow your network and your skill set at product management conferences

As a product manager, you want to keep your finger on the pulse of new innovations and breakthroughs in your industry. Attending conferences with the top product thought leaders is one of the best ways to do just that. No matter where you’re located, you can find a riveting and insightful product management conference near you — possibly even from the comfort of your own home.
