Keynote & Workshop
Julia Bastian

Keynote:
From Lagging Metrics to Leading Decisions

In B2B, sales often drives product choices, not because it is best but because product teams lack timely data. Unlike B2C, B2B data is sparse and delayed, leaving PMs reactive instead of leading.

This keynote shows how to change that. You will learn four actions to strengthen product leadership, centered on using qualitative data for faster insight and organizational learning, the real unlock for product-led growth in complex B2B environments.

Workshop:
AI Essentials for Product Managers: From Vibe Coding to AI Agents

AI is transforming product management. This hands-on workshop covers the essentials, from applying AI in daily work through vibe coding and automation, to building AI-powered features with LLMs and agents. You will also learn the basics of how LLMs function, how to evaluate use cases, and how to manage risks like hallucinations.

You will leave with practical tools to integrate AI confidently into both your workflow and roadmap.
