Have you heard? My new book Continuous Discovery Habits is now available. Get the product trio's guide to a structured and sustainable approach to continuous discovery. 
We are starting to pull together our 2018 conference list.
This list is by no means exhaustive. If you know of a product conference that is not on the list and you think it should be, please feel free to recommend it in the comments or send an email to conferences@producttalk.org.
I haven’t decided what events I’ll be attending in 2018 yet, but as soon as I do, I’ll update this post. We’ll also keep updating this list as we hear about more events.

Thanks as always for putting this together Teresa! I see you put one Product Camp on the list. Are you interested in adding other regional Product Camps? If so, I can help put together a list for you.
Yes, we’d love to add more Product Camps we just haven’t found a good way to track them all down. The central site always seems out of date.
I’ve experienced the same pain with the Product Camp website. I’ll see if I can find a way to add them.
Also, Mile High Agile just announced their dates https://www.milehighagile.org/ They usually have a Product Management track.
Thx Theresa for the http://productcamppdx.org call out. Hope to see you there again! David Nash
You bet!
Great list! Thanks for posting – I’ll be sharing around 🙂
I can also recommend Service Design in Government in Edinburgh (March 7 – 9) for folks interested in learning about Product Management and Product Design in the public sector!
http://govservicedesign.net/2018/
Thanks, we’ll add it.
Wow, this is a great list! Thanks, Teresa, for putting this together.
I would like to suggest one more conference to this list. Refresh – the product, design and front end conference. It will be held on 7th September 2018 in Tallinn, Estonia and although multidisciplinary, it is very product focused.
More information on Refresh web page: http://refresh.rocks/
And I would love to see you there!
Thanks, we’ll add it!
Hi Teresa, thanks for sharing this list !
I would also recommend La Product Conf in Paris, France (June 21) for digital product professionals.
The past years, a lot of great speakers from Uber, Intuit, Blablacar, Kisskissbankbank, AB Tasty, Algolia, Heetch, Sprintly… attended and an event has just been announced for next year.

Thanks, we’ll add it.
What a valuable list! Thanks for collecting and posting
I would love to recommend another conference, this one is for IoT product managers: https://events.bizzabo.com/Product-of-Things-2018
The conference experience is base on workshops and happening in Tel Aviv. If someone is looking to grow in the IoT domain, this is the place to be in.
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks! We’ll get it on the list.
Thank you, Teresa!
Have a wonderful day

The Humans Strike Back:
Why it’s Time to Put People in Product
“It’s not about the coffee, it’s about the people.” (Howard Behar sharing a Starbucks bean of wisdom…)
It’s all about people, product and technology. We’ve all heard it many times before… But let’s be honest – as we build products and create innovation, we (the business, stakeholders and partners) tend to direct our focus heavily (some would even say manically) on how we will define and measure success.
We monitor closely our expense, revenue, profitability and conversion rates to name but only a few. We focus on numbers. Because it’s easy to generate, comprehend, digest and compare. What we tend to neglect is the human part of the equation. The people behind the figures. The ones who create, power, drive, consume and generate those numbers.
It’s time to put the people back in the product.
For this year’s ProdConf, we’ll examine some of the best ways to successfully put the “people” piece back into the product development equation and leverage the enormous power it can yield for team/organizational health and success. Using the “people” lens, we’ll delve into topics in management, product thinking, leadership and DevOps to gain a holistic view of how and why it’s time to put people first.
