The Productboard team gathered at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco for Mind the Product, the largest product conference in the world. It was our first time sponsoring what one Product Manager described as “product management Christmas,” and we were excited to engage with over 1600 product enthusiasts hailing from 34 different countries.
