I am fangirl-ing over Julie Zhuo! I’ve seen Scott Belsky on Reforge, and really love his thinking. This is a great lineup! **clicks submit**

So excited to see my product women idols in one place

Lenny Rachitsky's avatar

Any other idols you'd love to see here?

Deborah Liu, Teresa Torres, Kim Scott!

Good ones! Deb is coming on the podcast in a couple of weeks (and already had Teresa and Kim on), and Deb was on the short list of speakers, and may still happen 👀

Elena Verna as a speaker as well 🤌🏼

Elena was at the top of my list, but sadly she's busy that day 😭 I almost moved the conference date for this reason.

Seems great, and really useful to those of us in small orgs who have no internal network. I wish there was some sort of discount for those of us at startups who have to personally pay to attend events.

The economics of conferences are tricky (e.g. to avoid losing a lot of money), but next time we'll definitely do something like this once we get the hang of it.

Wooot!! Hope I get accepted, what a bunch of masterminds.

Lenny - Could you share more about the format of the sessions? 1000 is a large audience and would love to understand.

Lenny Rachitsky's avatar

Still working on it, but it's going to be a combination of 30m talks from some of the top product minds in tech, intimate peer roundtables, and some other fun stuff we've got in store...

Umesh's avatar

OK, thanks. Keep us posted as this is know. My company (and I) would like to know more before they approve the reimbursement. :)

Lenny- I have years of experience chairing GHC (and scaled the conference to 25,000 attendees). Lmk if you need any help wrt planning / organizing.

This looks awesome. I’m due a few days later so I can’t join :) but would love to join in the future

Francesca Krihely-Price's avatar

Thank you! Your post on mat leave was so helpful!

Is there any chance that the event would also be in Europe?

George Brooks's avatar

Amazing! Sharing this out with my network. Incredible opportunity for leaders this space. So Cool!

EXCITING! Will there be remote options? Trip from the UK is likely outside of my learning budget 😅
