Description
Join us for an overview of ProductBC, presented by a few of its directors. In this interactive session, ProductBC will discuss vision and mechanisms going forward to include a broader BC group of product managers that can benefit from membership. As Product Managers, Owners, Analysts and Marketers, we all share a common pursuit: to create thoughtful products that solve customer problems. To do this effectively, we require a flexible and diverse set of skills along with a passion for learning. The Product Management Association of BC is a non-profit organization that aims to serve the BC product management community by offering our members access to events, mentorship opportunities, and curated content so they can learn and grow as product professionals.
