Product people had to settle for more generic entrepreneurship or broadly-focused tech conferences and pull whatever useful analogs that they could find.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Today, things are different. In fact, there are almost too many product management conferences to choose from. With the advent of virtual events made popular mostly out of necessity just last year &#8212; there are even more new experiences for a product manager to choose from. With so many options, product people are sure to be asking themselves several questions:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What separates the best\u2026 from the rest?\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>What differentiates each virtual experience from others?<\/li>\r\n<li>Coming out of a chaotic year like 2020 &#8212; what\u2019s already planned for 2021?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If thinking of researching every single conference out there has you stressed out\u2026 we have some good news. We\u2019re doing that legwork for you! We\u2019re keeping an eye on some of the top conferences out there for product management professionals. We\u2019ll be sharing what\u2019s available to you &#8212; and throughout the year, we\u2019ll be updating this as more conferences are announced (as many don\u2019t yet have firm details for 2021). So be sure to keep checking back on this post.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Why do top Product Managers attend Product Management educational conferences?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s clear from speaking with members of the Product Collective community that the overwhelming question that they regularly ask themselves is &#8216;am I doing this right?&#8217;. Sure, there is a bevy of information now available online that will help you with a career. But you can&#8217;t really beat the experience of a live conference with engaging talks and peer-based learning to level-up your skills. Here are some more reasons to attend a Product Management conference (in-person or virtual):<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Serendipitously meet other product people who will open your eyes to new ways of thinking<\/li>\r\n<li>Take time to fully engage with keynotes presented by world-renowned product leaders<\/li>\r\n<li>For in-person events, you come for the talks and stay for all the fun side-attractions &#8211; parties, networking, and dinners for instance<\/li>\r\n<li>Learn about the latest software tools available to product people at the expo halls<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Top product management conferences to attend in 2021<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>The landscape for Product Management conferences in 2021 will certainly be different from other years thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But there are still plenty of virtual conferences for Product Managers to choose from and the possibility of some in-person events happening in the Fall and Winter.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For the well-rounded Product Manager:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/productcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-24-at-11.42.17-AM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17388\" src=\"https:\/\/productcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-24-at-11.42.17-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-24-at-11.42.17-AM.png 490w, https:\/\/productcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-24-at-11.42.17-AM-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>INDUSTRY Virtual: The Product Conference &#8211; Virtual Edition<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> October 5-6, 2021<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/INDUSTRYconference.com\/virtual\">https:\/\/INDUSTRYconference.com\/virtual<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Okay, we know that we\u2019re biased on this one, but hear us out.
