Whether you’re launching a new product, feature, or enterprise suite— there’s an art and science to the way you reach, engage, and delight your users. On May 2nd, 200 founders and product leaders met to discuss how they bring winning products to market again and again.
WATCH THE TALKS
FROM DEVTOOL TO DEV ECOSYSTEM, FEAT. BITNAMI, GITLAB, AND ZAPIER
Few growth-stage companies succeed on a sole product offering.

DEFINING PRODUCT MARKETING & METRICS, WITH INDY SEN
While product marketing is so often sought after by founders, the definition of the role’s responsibilities, goals and resource investments are often blurry. Indy Sen defines product marketing, some of the common responsibilities and misconceptions of the role, and the metrics that matter from an org-wide perspective, during launches, and beyond.
MESSAGING AS THE ONE SOURCE OF TRUTH, WITH BETTY JUNOD
Often misunderstood as an exercise you do only for press releases, messaging can be an effective source of truth and a competitive differentiator across your org’s marketing, product, sales and hiring. In this session you’ll learn what it takes to craft strong messaging, the process to getting there, the methods to test it, and the best ways to cascade your messaging to other aspects of your organization. Follow along at home using Betty’s Framework Doc.

ORGANIC GROWTH & PLATFORM ADOPTION, WITH CLOUDBEES, NETLIFY, AND NPM
