The Goal

Connect & Inspire Product Managers

Create Real Value

People come to this conference to learn, share, connect and yes – have a great time.

They’re here to hear from people like themselves – practitioners who live and breathe product work every day. They want to see what other companies are doing, how they’re doing it, and what lessons they can take home.

What they expect – and what we deliver – is consistency: relevant content, high professional standards, and a conference experience that’s both inspiring and enjoyable.


Share Information

This is a space to share knowledge and, just as importantly, to gain fresh insight.
You’ll walk away up to date on the latest trends, proven best practices, and the overall direction of the product world.


Have Fun

Let’s be honest – the best conversations often happen after hours.
When the sessions end, the real networking begins: relaxed, authentic, over a drink or dinner by the Adriatic.
Because business conferences don’t have to be all business.


In a Word

Concept & Delivery

A Conference by Practitioners, for Practitioners

This is not an academic event.
Our speakers and panelists come directly from the business world – from multinational corporations to ambitious SMEs.

Every talk features real projects, real results, and real people who’ve been there.
Panel discussions go deep into industry trends, best practices, and the realities of building successful products today.


Seating

Forget rows of stiff chairs. The main hall is set up with round tables – comfortable, collaborative, and designed for conversation.
Grab a coffee, open your laptop, take notes – you’re among peers here.

This layout encourages focus, discussion, and that great mix of learning and networking that defines our events.


Stage & Delivery Style

There’s no raised stage, no podium.
Speakers move freely around the room, engaging directly with the audience. No spotlight glare, no distance – just connection.

And with natural light streaming through glass walls, the space feels bright, open, and full of energy. This isn’t theatre; it’s participation.


The 3 WHY's

The Story Behind This Conference

Why PRODUCT MANAGEMENT?

Because, frankly, there’s nothing like it in this part of Europe.
No large-scale international business event fully dedicated to Product Management – except the PWE.
We’re filling that gap and building a community that others will soon try to follow.


Why NOW?

Early May. Perfect timing.
Business calendars are open, the weather’s great, and it’s the ideal moment to recharge your professional batteries.


Why OPATIJA?

Why not?
Opatija is the Queen of the Adriatic – elegant, historic, and full of character.
It combines the beauty of the sea with old-world charm and top-tier modern facilities. Michelin-star cuisine, five-star hotels, and a setting that makes every conversation better.
And it’s close – just a few hours’ drive from Munich, Milan, Vienna or Budapest.


The 3 WHAT's

The benefits of attending this conference

Powerful Personalities of People Who Present (aka Great Speakers)

We bring together remarkable professionals from across Europe and beyond – people who’ve built products, led teams, and learned lessons the hard way.
They don’t just present – they perform. Every session is designed to inspire and engage.


Transparency of Issues (aka Relevant Content)

It’s not about buzzwords or sales pitches.
It’s about honesty – stories of challenges, failures and successes.
You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t and how others are navigating the same problems you face.
No fluff. No marketing b/s.


Intimacy of the Conversations (aka Great Networking)

At a 2,000-person event, you shake hands. At a 200-person event, you build relationships.
Here, conversations are real, repeated and remembered.
By the end of two days, you’ll know names, faces and stories – and maybe even your next partner or hire.
