Latitude59 is an incredible community and conference. So inspiring. Mark your calendar now to be in Tallinn in May 2025. I’ll be there.

Latitude59 conference showed the way how to reduce the environmental footprint that large conferences have. Kudos for leading. Liisi Org Kai Isand

🚀 I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining an esteemed panel at #Latitude59 in Tallinn on May 24th on the Founder stage. We'll dive deep into "Product—A Relic of The Past or The Most Important Part of The Machine?" 🔍 We're tackling the swiftly evolving future of product management. From the paradox of ubiquitous product expertise to the ethical dilemmas of the digital age, our discussion will challenge your views, provoke thought, and might even redefine what it means to be a product manager today. 💡 I'm particularly interested in the rapidly evolving role of designers who are increasingly adopting product management tasks—leading sprint planning, analyzing user data to drive engagement and retention, and influencing product roadmaps with empirical user feedback. We'll explore the dynamics driving this transformation and what it means for the industry. 🌟 I am joining incredible thinkers who bring a wealth of experience: Chidi Afulezi, a seasoned advisor and coach for product leaders and teams. Maria 🌺 Lasprilla, instrumental in building the Estonian unicorn, Pipedrive. Jordan Valdma, a veteran product manager and founder of a venture building studio, renowned for his work with another Estonian unicorn, Wise. 👥 Whether you're a startup enthusiast, a UX professional, or a seasoned product manager, this panel will provide diverse insights from various facets of the industry. 📅 Mark your calendars for May 24th and join us for a session that promises to be both enlightening and transformative. Engage with us online and share your thoughts on these cutting-edge topics. Let’s push the boundaries of what it means to manage and design products in today's rapidly evolving tech landscape.
