<p>On Friday, September 8, we gathered nearly 1,600 passionate product people from 52 countries around the world to the iconic Barbican Hall for another dazzling #mtpcon. A day full of incredible talks, amazing conversations, an epic afterparty, and more pre-events than ever before!</p>
<p>A huge cyan blue thank you to our magnificent speakers, crew, volunteers, and most of all our fantastic audience for coming together as a tribe, geeking out on all things product, and making it an awesome conference!</p>
<p>We’ve gathered some of the feedback, write-ups, sketchnotes, and photos below, and #mtpcon will of course be back in 2018 – in San Francisco on July 16-17, and in London on October 18-19! Check out <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/mind-product-conferences-2018/" target="_blank">all the ticket release dates</a> and save the date!</p>
