✨A Year in the Making: ProductLab Conference is Almost Here
After a full year of designing and building ProductLab Conference, we're standing at 99% ready – and that missing 1% is exactly what we're most excited about.
Yesterday's coffee with Wafaey and Ebrahim Kargar felt like the final puzzle pieces clicking into place. We walked through the last details for LABs day and the main conference, fine-tuned our presentations, and even started dreaming about what 2026 might bring after this first edition proves itself.
Saturday night brought a different kind of energy – chatting with Fabian Strunden about his roundtable sessions or checking people using our badge creator tool. There's something magical about seeing your ideas come alive in real interactions.
This week has been beautifully chaotic: moving boxes, running technical rehearsals, perfecting those final design elements that make all the difference. We've prepared everything we possibly can, and now we're ready for the most important part – the performance itself.
The 1% we can't control is also what we're most curious about: How will people connect with our vision? What conversations will spark during our networking moments? How will the conference feel when it's no longer just an idea but a living, breathing experience?
Taking a Breath
We decided to keep this week's newsletter simple. Sometimes the best thing you can do before a big moment is step back and recharge.
See you at ProductLab Conference – we can't wait to share what we've built and discover that crucial 1% together.
