​Session Descriptions

​10:00am // Women Product Triad Panel

​Most product teams say they work as a triad (product, UX, and software engineering) deciding together what to build, how, and launch. Far fewer can tell you what actually happens when those three disagree, who gets the final call, how AI has scrambled who does what, and what you should know as you build solo or with a team.

This all-woman product triad from Don’t Panic Labs builds software together every day, on real partner problems and products with real deadlines. Whether you’re building a startup, leading a team, or figuring out where you fit in tech, you’ll leave knowing how strong product teams actually work, how are they actively changing, and what you can steal for your own.
