AGENDA

Calling all product managers, designers, developers, and marketers!

How creative can you be in just 33 hours? You'd be surprised at what's possible.
Join us and find out how much innovation you can unlock in a weekend.

This is your chance to hack together new product concepts and explore amazing feature ideas, play with a bunch of fun tools and mash some great brands together.

With inspirational talks by successful product management veterans, product demos, giveaways and a series of invaluable product management mini workshops hosted by Brainmates.
