A big thank you to everyone who made it to our latest roundtable meet-up of The Product Group, as well as to our sponsors, Balsamiq Studios, Sunshine Suites, and Ryma Technology Solutions.IMG_1785

Over the course of the night a few of the highlights were…

 

Featured Product: Knewton
exploring the product, its challenges and successes, from dashboard design to effective team management
(a big thanks to the Knewton team: Sara Petry, Brian Fitzgerald)

Building and Maintaining Relationships with Customers
from the customer strategies of popular products, Mint, Zappos, Twine, and others, to the values of surveying

The Product Group meet-ups are an opportunity for Product People (managers, strategies, marketers, etc.) to come together to meet, interact, and network in a roundtable setting. It’s awesome to meet fellow Product People in a laid-back, conversational gathering.
