Behind the Scenes at LogRocket's Product Leader Dinners
AI-driven growth, insights from LogRockets's exclusive product leader dinners, and how to navigate the evolving PM job market and workflows.
LogRocket hosts live product leader networking events throughout the US. Historically invite-only, these gatherings offer guests a chance to network and build community with like-minded product leaders in industries like SaaS, HealthTech, FinTech, and more.
Each event features a cocktail hour for networking, an engaging talk by a highly regarded industry speaker, a delicious multi-course meal, and some fun departing gifts, courtesy of LogRocket.
At a recent event in Los Angeles, Oji Udezue (former CPO at Typeform and Calendly, and product leader at Twitter and Atlassian) shared insights on:
Growth acceleration for PMs: How PMs can use AI to shorten the path to value, making it easier for teams and customers to see impact quickly
The future of PM workflows: Core workflows haven’t changed, but the tools have, and we haven’t reached the “final” AI toolset, so it’s important to stay abreast of current trends as capabilities advance
Thriving as a startup: Applying the 2x4 framework (Who is using your product? and How often?) to segment workflows and focus on high-value areas in a world where +90% of startups fail
Competitive advantage beyond product: Lasting advantage doesn’t always come from product features alone! Business models, distribution, customer relationships, and proprietary data can be just as powerful
