We have planned two days full of product learning for you. Check out the full schedule for the workshops, Leadership Forum, and conference.
We have an impressive lineup of world-renowned keynote speakers at their year’s conference. Learn more about each speaker here.
The topics being covered by our keynote speakers will not be shared ahead of the conference. This is mainly because this is a fast-moving industry and we allow speakers to alter their talks up to the last minute to ensure we have the most relevant content. Also, since #mtpcon is a single-track conference, you don’t have to worry about picking talks ahead of time. To get an indication of what to expect, you can see talks from our past conferences.
We review speakers on a rolling basis and often have speakers confirmed for events a year in advance. You can learn more about speaking for Mind the Product and apply to speak on our website. Someone who doesn’t fit our current line-up might be a good fit for another event, so we will keep the application in case it’s relevant for one of our other events.
We do not distribute slides from the conference talks as the content belongs to the speakers, however, we are happy to share the ones that have been made publically available and include them in a follow-up blog post after the conference. Videos of the talks will all be available on our blog after the conference – we will release one video a week in the weeks and months following the conference.
If you’re a new mother, we’ve got a private room set aside just for you at the conference venue with power, but no refrigeration. Just get in touch with the team and let us know if you need it! If you are attending our workshops or Leadership events the day before the conference please let us know if you need this and we will help make arrangements.
All our venues comply with the ADA. If you have any accessibility requirements you think we should be aware of, please let us know before the day so that we can ensure we meet your needs and have someone on hand to assist you if required.
Real-time captioning will be available for all talks on conference day, provided by White Coat Captioning. This will be clearly visible from a number of places on in the hall – if you need close proximity access to please get in touch and we will help arrange a solution.
We will always provide at least one vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free option as well as dairy alternatives for coffee and tea. Given the scale of the event and the limitations of the venue, we are unable to cater to specific dietary requirements or allergies.
If you have very specific dietary needs, there will be a 90 min lunch break and the venue is in the bustling Hayes Valley which has a more diverse selection of food. If you have specific questions about dietary needs please get in touch beforehand.

Clearly, the attraction of San Francisco is not any one thing, but the combination of many different things.

There will also be plenty of networking opportunities at the conference itself, as well as at the afterparty.
