Hey Product People!
Product leadership is a hot topic these days. It all started when Brian Chesky, the co-founder & CEO of Airbnb, [made explosive comments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkfijg7s76o) at Figma Config conference about the elimination of the product manager role, and while Internet was already exploding, he [talked about this at length](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ef0juAMqoE) on Lenny’s Podcast, and then Marty Cagan, the founder of the Silicon Valley Product Group, [wrote an extensive response](https://www.svpg.com/alternatives-to-product-managers/) in his blog just a few days ago, and the debate is still ongoing.
We want to be part of this conversation and to better understand the trends, so we’re happy to announce that our next meetup will take place on December 11, 2023, Monday, at 20:00 at aPeople office (55 Giorgi Chubinashvili Str.).
We’ve invited 3 speakers who’ll talk about product-centric culture, product mindset, and cross-team management:
– Gigi Janelidze, Head of UX and Design, Design Transformation Lead, TBC
Culture eats strategy for breakfast
– Nini Mosulishvili, Head of Product, Adjarabet
Fostering Innovation: The Critical Role of a Product Mindset
– Nana Oniani, Head of Product, Adjarabet
Unlocking Team Synergy: The Power of Cross-Team Leadership
