What do we look for in speakers?

We welcome speakers with diverse backgrounds, fresh perspectives, and compelling stories. Here’s what makes for a great TPMA speaker:

Real-World Experience – We love speakers who have been in the trenches—whether you’ve launched a new product, navigated a complex challenge, or built a high-performing team, your experience matters.
Actionable Insights – Our audience values practical takeaways. Your talk should go beyond theory and provide tangible lessons, frameworks, or strategies that attendees can apply in their roles.
Engaging Storytelling – The best talks are not just informative but also engaging. Whether through case studies, anecdotes, or humor, we look for speakers who can capture attention and keep the audience engaged.
Diverse Perspectives – Product management is a broad and evolving field. We seek speakers from different industries, roles, and backgrounds to bring fresh and varied insights to our community.
