From 0 to 1000 — Two Years of On Product Meetup
Recently, Facebook reminded me of a post I shared two years ago about our first On Product Meetup in June 2015:
Back then, we started off with 14 product managers from our portfolio companies coming together for talks, pizza, and drinks at our office. We had two presentations that night, one about Using Google Analytics API for Custom Reporting and the other on Website Analytics with Splunk. The goal of the event was to connect product managers across our portfolio companies and share knowledge, methods, and tools. Obviously, coming up with a nice logo wasn’t the main priority. :D
Two years and 10 Meetups later, we recently hosted On Product #11 at Outfittery with 150 Berlin-based product people. The membership of the Meetup group we created a year ago has grown from 0 to over 1000 product lovers. With every event, we attract 150 to 200 new members. We have hosted speakers from Project A, nu3, Coureon, Spryker, uberall, BCG DV, solarisbank, LIQID, PhraseApp, Helpling, Jodel, Amazon Web Services, Door2Door and Audibene.
We have recently started streaming and filming the talks, and we publish them on our YouTube channel to allow even more individuals to learn from fellow product people. Check out some of the talks:
