This week, we're reflecting on what made our first conference truly special. Working alongside Francesca Cortesi and Ahmed Wafaey, we were able to deliver presentations and workshops that represented some of the highest caliber product leadership we've encountered. These are professionals who've spent years in the field, and their ability to provide practical insights and actionable feedback is exactly what we envisioned for our community.
Having our conference sell out nearly a month before the event speaks to something powerful happening in Berlin's product community. It's not just about the numbers, it's about the hunger for authentic learning experiences and genuine mentorship opportunities.
Our mission has always been clear: connect emerging product professionals with seasoned leaders who can accelerate their career growth. This first conference proved that when you prioritize quality and authentic expertise over everything else, the community responds.
The Berlin product scene continues to strengthen, and we're proud to be part of building these connections that matter. Here's to more opportunities to learn from the best and grow together.

🚀 This Friday: Join us at ProductCamp Berlin
We're excited to announce that this Friday, we're joining forces with our friend Abdo Wahba and the team at ProductCamp Berlin's Unconference.
At ProductLab, we believe deeply in the motto "Community of Communities" – the idea that the strongest ecosystems emerge when different groups come together to share knowledge, experiences, and support each other's growth.
You'll find Ahmed Sulaiman and Daniele Ronca roaming around the conference, 📸 capturing the best moments and engaging in conversations about what we're building at ProductLab. Don't hesitate to say hello if you spot them – they'd love to chat about product challenges, community building, or what's next for Berlin's product scene.
