Who We Are.

The Product Development Summit is an elite group of top product dev executives who meet monthly to focus on excellence. We share top ideas, best practices, and are committed to each other's success. Exchange best practices with an elite peer group of executives dedicated to each other's top performance. Confidentially exchange what is working, what is not, key strategies and top ideas.

Meeting Format.

Monthly meetings (one-hour teleconferences) provide a powerful forum in which product dev leaders can exchange what is working, what is not, strategies and ideas in a confidential environment with a dedicated group of other product dev leaders whose only agenda is to help each other outperform. If you ever miss a meeting, they are all available on the member portal in both video and as PDF summaries.
