Beyond the Vibes: Evidence-Based Product Management

Thursday, October 22, 2026 · 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern

This is for the product person who hears "it worked for me" and quietly wonders: 

did it, though — and would it work anywhere else?

 Who values a good anecdote but knows an anecdote is data, not evidence. Who wants to know not just that something worked, but why — the mechanism underneath, the part you can actually repeat. If you think critically about your product, you deserve a symposium that thinks critically too.

This is a day for that kind of knowledge: what people learned by actually doing the work, in their own context, with evidence they can show you. A real claim, the evidence behind it, and an honest account of what changed when reality pushed back.

No vendors working the room. No frameworks without receipts. Just people showing their work.

 Three keynotes, live talks across three tracks, an interactive Connections Hour, and an on-demand library to revisit afterward.
