The gap between a good PM and a great PM isn't just technical; it's about building trust and influence. Product Managers notoriously have all the responsibility, but at times, zero formal authority. Closing that gap is the focus of this event.

We'll be diving deep into strategies, frameworks and tools that various leading product managers utilize to gain trust and influence. Whether you are a PM who is managing up... navigating difficult conversations with executives & stakeholders to secure buy-in on your vision, or managing down and building trust with team members.

You’ll walk away with actionable strategies on:

  • Executive Communication: How to tailor your pitch to the C-suite and stop talking about features when they only care about outcomes.
  • Gaining Buy-In: Tactical frameworks for managing difficult stakeholders and securing consensus for your roadmap.
  • The Conflict Playbook: How to proactively handle organizational friction and manage up to ensure your product vision stays on track.
  • Team Communication: How to build trust and open communication channels with your team.

Whether you are a Senior Product Manager, or one who is just getting started in your PM career, this event will provide the insights into managing up, or down, that will will help you excel in your career.
