<p>On March 25-26, 2019 we gathered over 400 passionate product people from 26 countries around the world in Singapore for two days of connecting, sharing, and moving our craft forward together. It started with a day of deep-dive workshops followed by an opening party right on Marina Bay, and culminated in the main conference in the iconic Victoria Theatre featuring fascinating keynotes and an insightful panel. Thank you for joining us and making our inaugural Singapore conference such a roaring success!</p>
<p>It was delightful to bring together so many product people from all over the region, and to hear the refrain that has driven this community since its inception: &#8220;We&#8217;re not alone&#8221;. As product managers we can feel a bit lonely in our work, so by coming together as a community we can bridge that loneliness, find peers facing the same challenges, learn from them, and share our own hard-earned insights. It&#8217;s the only way we can learn and improve our craft &#8211; and in Singapore we did it in style!</p>

<p>A massive thank you to the amazing Mind the Product team for making it another incredible conference &#8211; from our crew, volunteers, production and venue staff, to our sponsors. Above all though, thanks to our incredible speakers for getting the conversation started and to our passionate audience for keeping it going late into the night!</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve been following Mind the Product for years but it&#8217;s always been far away from APAC, so it&#8217;s really exciting to see them come to Singapore and bring together the community. It&#8217;s been an amazing experience!<cite>Sherif Mansour, Atlassian</cite></p></blockquote>
<h2>Talks</h2>
<p>All the amazing talks by John Maeda, Amanda Richardson, Sherif Mansour, Prakriti Parijat, Ken Chin, Bernise Ang, Jen Dante, and Jeff Gothelf as well as the hugely insightful panel discussion with Francois Le Nguyen, Kaia Lai, Colin Pal, Silvia Thom, Priyankka Mani, and Renato Silva <strong>will be published in full here on Mind the Product over the coming weeks</strong>.</p>
