< About >

The past two years have been a whirlwind. The product lifecycle has changed in fundamental ways. Customer expectations have reshaped around capabilities that felt impossible just a few years ago. This is the new normal—and leading through it requires new thinking. We'll spend the day on exactly that: how to lead in the AI era. You'll leave with frameworks for making strategic AI decisions, peer-tested approaches from leaders facing the same challenges, and concrete strategies for building competitive advantage. No hype. Just what's working

Best for

  • Heads of Product, VP/Directors, and CPOs leading product organizations

  • Product leaders who transitioned into people management roles this year

  • Senior ICs who previously held people management positions

Morning session

You don't need to be OpenAI to win with AI. This session helps you navigate AI's real impact through two formats:

Part 1: Lighting Session

Through frameworks and case studies, we'll examine companies creating genuine differentiation with off-the-shelf models—not custom foundation models or massive ML teams. You'll learn where AI creates competitive advantage and where it's just noise.

Part 2: Peer-Driven Roundtables

Structured conversations across four dimensions shaping your work right now:

  1. Customer expectations — How has "good enough" changed? What do customers now assume you can do?

  2. Team ways of working — AI prototyping, faster specs, non-technical contributors building things. What's actually working?

  3. Business model pressure — We used to price as if fulfillment had zero marginal cost. That's no longer true with reasoning and agentic models driving usage spikes. How are you structuring costs and pricing?

  4. Market disruption — Is AI turning your market into a red ocean? Adobe moved fast to keep AI-powered tools from disrupting their position. Airbnb still hasn't rolled out substantial AI strategy. Where does your market fall, and how vulnerable are you?

< Key learnings >

  • Where AI creates genuine competitive advantage vs. where it's hype

  • How to build differentiation without custom models or massive ML teams

  • What's actually working in AI-enabled team workflows

  • How to navigate AI's new economics in pricing and costs

  • How vulnerable your market is to disruption and what to do about it

  • Actionable insights from peers solving the same problems

Afternoon session

Building an AI-Native Team Workshop

The PM role isn't going away—and the idea that companies are hiring agents instead of people is overblown. If anything, we'll need more product managers as execution accelerates. But the role is evolving.

This hands-on 2.5-hour workshop focuses on helping your team level up without falling for the hype. You'll assess where AI is actually making your team faster and where it's introduced new challenges—like AI evaluations—that might be slowing you down.

By the end, you'll build a practical playbook: a team assessment and prioritized next steps you can use immediately.

< Key learnings >

  • Where AI is genuinely accelerating your team's work

  • Where AI has introduced new challenges and bottlenecks

  • How to assess your team's AI readiness and capabilities

  • How to create a prioritized action plan for leveling up

  • A practical playbook you can implement right away

Vibe Coding

Kino International

< About >

Vibe coding is changing how we build. For product managers, it's a lightning-fast way to prototype. For designers, it's bringing static designs to life. For founders, it's a path to building full-stack products without waiting on roadmaps or learning curves.

In this session, we'll vibe code a working product using Claude Code—going from blank page to deployed code in under an hour. You'll see how coding products and agents can be a massive productivity unlock, building working tools that help with everything from writing emails to creating slide decks and visualizations.

< Key learnings >

  • How to vibe code a working product from scratch to deployment

  • Practical prompting techniques that get consistent, working results

  • Real examples of AI-powered tools that improve daily productivity

  • How to build without traditional coding skills or long learning curves

Strategic Thinking for Product Managers

17.09

Kino International

< About >

As we get more senior, many of us hear the same feedback: "You need to be more strategic." But what does that actually mean?

Strategy is ultimately about taking what you know about the world and predicting the future. In this discussion, we'll unpack what strong strategic thinking looks like and how to apply it to real decisions. The session will start with a guided conversation for the first 20-30 minutes, then evolve into an open discussion.

< Key learnings >

  • The core elements of strong strategic thinking

  • How to apply strategic thinking to real product decisions

  • Why strategic thinking might be the biggest unlock in your career

  • Practical frameworks for moving from tactical to strategic
