Must-attend product events in 2026

Your next-level year starts here...

The product landscape in 2026 looks different to what many of us expected.

Layoffs across product teams have been widespread. AI is reshaping what PMs do day-to-day, from discovery to specs, and from prioritization to roadmaps. And product operations has grown from a niche specialism into a function most scaling orgs now consider essential.

Whether you're building a product or leading a team right now, there's a lot of noise to cut through. The events worth your time in 2026 are the ones where you can step back, compare notes with people navigating the same pressures, and leave with things you can actually use.

Here's where to be this year.

Which event is right for you?

Whether you're an Associate PM finding your feet or a CPO setting org-wide strategy, there's an event in this lineup built for where you are right now. Use the dropdowns below to find your fit.

Amsterdam

Chief Product Officer Summit

When: May 27, 2026 Where: Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre Amsterdam

A complimentary, invite-only event reserved for senior product leaders who want peer-level conversations about the stuff that doesn't come up in all-hands meetings.

The agenda covers translating data into confident decision-making, building AI-native product capabilities that actually deliver ROI (not just demos), leading enterprise-wide alignment as a cross-functional catalyst, and scaling high-performing product organisations for long-term growth.

Sessions are designed to be candid, not polished — this is a room where people can speak frankly about what's working and what isn't.

Product-Led Summit

When: May 28-29, 2026 Where: Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre Amsterdam

Two days of practical product strategy from practitioners at companies like Booking.com, VEED, Coca-Cola HBC, Air France-KLM, and Shell.

Day one digs into AI in enterprise product management, building for product-market fit in saturated categories, taking products from AI-led to self-learning, and diagnosing activation bottlenecks. Day two covers scaling product teams, redefining ops metrics, restoring stakeholder trust, cross-cultural alignment for global product teams, and building AI features that drive upgrades — not just one-time trials.

There are interactive roundtables and hands-on workshops built in, so it's not just passive listening.

Co-located with the Product Operations Summit — same venue, same days — so attendees can move freely between both tracks throughout the event.

Product Operations Summit

When: May 28-29, 2026 Where: Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre Amsterdam

Product operations is having its moment — and this summit is where the people driving that change share what they've learned.

Speakers from Semrush, Uber, AXA, Tide, Epidemic Sound, WPP, and others will cover fixing product and engineering misalignment, running AI and automation workflows that actually save time (not just on paper), removing delivery bottlenecks before they derail sprints, and building repeatable systems for planning, reporting, and prioritisation at scale.

The focus throughout is on things you can implement immediately — not aspirational frameworks, but real playbooks from teams who've already done the work.

Co-located with the Product-Led Summit, with free movement between both tracks.

Seattle

Product-Led Summit

When: June 17–18, 2026 Where: Grand Hyatt Seattle

Seattle is where some of the most AI-forward product teams in the world are based — Microsoft, Amazon, LinkedIn, Salesforce, DocuSign — and the speaker lineup reflects that.

Sessions cover AI-native product strategy, PLG in the AI era, build vs. buy decisions, how trust, fraud, and compliance fit into product velocity, and the evolving PM role in a world of AI leverage and compressed team sizes. There are also hands-on workshops: rapid prototyping, agile mindset sessions, and premortems you can run with your own team.

If you're trying to figure out what product leadership actually looks like when AI changes the job description, this is the conference to be at.

London (Summer)

Product-Led Festival

When: June 18, 2026 Where: Convene Sancroft St Pauls

The Festival is a different format to a standard summit — and that's the whole point.

Six tracks. One ticket. When you're there, you can move freely between all of them throughout the day. The tracks span Product, Customer Success, Sales Enablement, RevOps, Product Marketing, and GTM — so whether you're a PM who wants to understand what CS actually needs, or a product marketer wanting to align with product, you'll find your sessions.

On the product track: sessions cover the self-serve vs. sales-assist balance, building AI features people actually pay for, aligning product and GTM teams, evolving product-market fit, advanced experimentation, and agile product development. There are live teardowns, interactive workshops, and Q&As built into the format — it's hands-on.

With 150+ speakers and 500+ attendees across all six tracks, it's also one of the biggest cross-functional product events in the UK calendar.

New York (Summer)

Product-Led Festival

When: July 8, 2026 Where: Convene 30 Hudson Yards

Same format as London, different energy — New York's version of the Festival is high-intensity and built around doing, not just watching.

Five tracks. One ticket. Move freely between Product, Customer Success, Sales Enablement, RevOps, and Product Marketing throughout the day. Speakers this year include product leaders from American Express, JPMorgan Chase, Condé Nast, Citi, Paramount, Dow Jones, and Verizon.

The format centres on live teardowns, activation flow critiques, experimentation debates, AI hackathons, and collaborative workshops. You'll leave with ready-to-implement playbooks and AI workflows, not just slides to read on the train home.

With 400+ attendees across all five tracks, it's also the kind of event where the hallway conversations end up being as valuable as the sessions.

Boston (C-suite)

Chief Product Officer Summit

When: August 19, 2026 Where: Westin Copley Place

A complimentary, invite-only event for senior product executives who want to walk into the second half of 2026 with sharper strategic clarity.

The focus is on board-level leadership: scaling influence across the organisation, navigating AI-driven transformation in product orgs, leading through complexity, and building the kind of long-term vision that holds up when things get complicated. Small rooms, candid conversations, a curated guest list.

San Francisco

Product-Led Summit

When: September 22–23, 2026 Where: Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

San Francisco's summit draws product leaders from Intuit, Adobe, Reddit, Zoom, PayPal, Salesforce, Upwork, Zscaler, and more — and the agenda is grounded in what those teams are actually working on.

Sessions cover product analytics and data-driven decision-making, harnessing AI and emerging technology to increase efficiency and competitiveness, cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder alignment, agile discovery, effective feedback loops, and building product orgs that scale without losing velocity.

You'll leave with frameworks you can apply the week you're back — and a strong network to help you out, whether you're heads-down in your current role or keeping an eye on what's next.

Co-located with the Product Operations Summit — same venue, same dates — with free movement between both tracks.

Product Operations Summit

When: September 22–23, 2026 Where: Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

Two days focused on the operational challenges that slow product teams down — and the systems that fix them.

Sessions cover fixing misalignment between product and engineering, building AI and automation workflows that reduce manual work, mapping and removing delivery bottlenecks, running smoother cross-functional collaboration, and creating predictable delivery at scale.

You'll leave with frameworks for planning, prioritisation, and process design — and the recordings from both POPS and PLED are included OnDemand after the event.

Co-located with the Product-Led Summit with free movement between both tracks.

Chief Product Officer Summit

When: September 24, 2026 Where: Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

The day after, our CPO Summit brings senior product executives together for a focused, invite-only session on automation, strategic alignment, AI's impact on product leadership, and future-proofing your product org.

Berlin

Product-Led Summit

When: October 21, 2026 Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin

One focused day in one of Europe's fastest-growing product markets. Sessions cover growth tactics, AI's evolving role in product design, and building for global scale from a European base.

It's a smaller format than the US summits, which means more access to speakers and more genuine conversation — and a strong regional network to tap into if you're building in the European market.

Boston 

Product-Led Summit

When: October 27–28, 2026 Where: The Westin Boston Seaport

Boston's summit is known for substance over trend-chasing — sessions are grounded in what teams are actually shipping, not what they're planning to do eventually.

Expect practical frameworks, real examples, and the kind of peer-driven discussion that follows you home. A good one to have on the calendar if you haven't been to a US summit yet this year.

Sydney

Product-Led Summit

When: October 28, 2026 Where: Venue TBC

Our one stop Down Under brings together Australia's product community for a day of real talk on stakeholder alignment, driving adoption, and what AI-led innovation actually looks like in practice — not just in theory.

Topics include stakeholder alignment, driving product adoption, and how AI-led innovation is showing up in product strategies across the region.

Toronto

Product-Led Summit

When: November 12–13, 2026 Where: Venue TBC

Toronto's product community is full of ideas, and this summit consistently reflects that. Two days of peer-driven sessions, practical discussions, and networking that follows you home.

Sessions are grounded in what's working for teams building in 2026 — with AI, leaner resources, and higher customer expectations than ever.

Chicago

Product-Led Summit

When: November 18–19, 2026 Where: Venue TBC

Two packed days of real-world product tactics to close out the North American calendar. Chicago's summit is built for practitioners who want to leave with new ideas and a clear sense of how to act on them.

Sessions cover growth, retention, team scaling, and AI in product — grounded in what teams are actually doing, not what they're planning to do someday.

London (Winter)

Chief Product Officer Summit

When: December 1, 2026 Where: InterContinental London - the O2

A complimentary, invite-only event to close the year — reserved for product executives who want to walk into 2027 with clarity on where the discipline is heading.

Topics include scaling influence at board level, leading product teams through AI-driven transformation, and building the kind of strategic vision that holds up when things get complicated. Exactly the right room for those conversations.

Product-Led Summit

When: December 2–3, 2026 Where: InterContinental London - the O2

Europe's final PLG event of the year — and one of the biggest. If you only make it to one European summit this year, this is the one to prioritize.

Two days of practical frameworks, senior peer sessions, and conversations about where product-led growth is heading in 2027. You'll leave with clarity, new connections, and a plan.

Co-located with the Product Operations Summit — same venue, same days — with free movement between both tracks.

Product Operations Summit

When: December 2–3, 2026 Where: InterContinental London - the O2

A strong close to the year for product ops professionals. Dive into real-world ops challenges, share what's working with peers, and pick up systems that you can actually implement before the year's out.

Co-located with the Product-Led Summit with free movement between both tracks.
