<p>Our Manchester conference will be the first to play host to our brand new stand &#8211; a one-stop-shop for all your Mind the Product questions.</p>
<p>Visit us there to meet members of the team, to discuss <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/product-management-training/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">training</a>, <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/write-for-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">content opportunities</a>, <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/category/the-product-experience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Product Experience</a> podcast, <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/product-management-training/mindset-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mindset</a>, our job board and more.</p>
<h2>Chat Through Content Opportunities</h2>
<p>When it comes to content, there are so many ways to get involved with Mind the Product and to <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/write-for-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">write for us</a>. You&#8217;re probably thinking &#8216;what <span style="font-style: italic;">exactly </span>do you mean by content?&#8217;, so let us be clear. By content, we mean blog posts, case studies, podcasts and all of that good stuff!</p>
<p>As a product person, we&#8217;re 100% certain that you have a brain full of interesting ideas, bucket loads of experience that others could learn from, and thoughts on topics that quite probably need to be heard. This is the content we want to help you share.</p>
<p>Come along to the stand to meet our Director of Content, Imogen, and find out more.</p>
<ul>
<li>Maybe you already have an idea for a blog post</li>
<li>Perhaps even a draft that’s ready to go</li>
<li>Do you have a case study in the making?</li>
<li>Or a hot topic you&#8217;re dying to have your say on?</li>
<li>Is there some content you&#8217;d love to see on mindtheproduct.com?</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever it is, she&#8217;d love to talk to you.</p>
<p>&#8220;Via email, we receive guest submissions and questions about content daily, but it&#8217;s great to have those discussions in person too,&#8221; says Imogen. &#8220;You might not think you currently have any ideas for a blog post or feel confident about writing, and that&#8217;s absolutely fine. Even if you just want to better understand how the Mind the Product content process works, feel free to come and have a chat with me in the breaks.&#8221;</p>

<h2>Network With us&#8230;and Others!</h2>
<p>You can also ask us questions about our work in general. Want to know how to be more involved with the Mind the Product <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">community</a>? We&#8217;ll tell you what you need to know. Interested in our <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/producttank/">ProductTanks</a>? We&#8217;ll give you the lowdown.</p>
<p>Of course, there will be members of the Mind the Product team throughout the venue too and they&#8217;re just as keen to meet you as those of the team on the stand.</p>
<p>For example, team members Amy and Will will be at the new speed networking area helping you to take the plunge and get some conversations going with your fellow attendees during the breaks. Anyone can get involved, no sign up required. Simply head over to speed networking area where slots will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Sessions last between 15 and 25 minutes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our speed networking sessions were immensely popular at our London conference in October, and we&#8217;re excited to bring them to Manchester,&#8221; says Mind the Product&#8217;s Marketing Manager, Amy. &#8220;We know that the drive to engage with fellow product people at an event like this is high but also that it can be daunting to pluck up the courage to make that first move. So, if you&#8217;re eager to chat with people but anxious about having to kick off a conversation, or if you just love a networking activity, these sessions are perfect for you. We promise you&#8217;ll have fun!&#8221;</p>
