#mtpcon SF 2017 : Product is People

Share on

Mind the Product San Francisco 2017 gathered 1,500 passionate product people from 20 countries and 36 states across the US to the stunning Davies Symphony Hall for another amazing day of learning and sharing.

From my opening remarks through most of the talks, one theme emerged – product management has almost nothing to do with product, and everything to do with people. Whether we’re talking about our customers, the people in our teams, or our community of product people, we can’t build products people love alone.

We founded Mind the Product for this very reason – great products can only come from great people, and we can only become great product people by coming together as a tribe, supporting each other, and learning from each other.

So thank you to everyone who came together in San Francisco, to our awesome speakers for sharing their insights and sparking great conversations, our sponsors for supporting us, and our crew and volunteers for keeping everything running smoothly!

We’ll post the videos of each talk here soon, in the meantime enjoy the recap video and some of our attendee’s write ups.
