Product Confidential San Francisco

Off-the-record insights from customer-obsessed, AI product leaders

Product Confidential is an intimate, invitation-only gathering of product leaders who don't just talk about AI and customer obsession—they live it. This isn't another conference filled with generic keynotes. It's where top product minds come together for honest conversations, tactical insights, and behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else. The tour will make stops in San Francisco and London this May.

Why Attend?

Join us at Product Confidential to connect with product leaders facing the same challenges you are. This is where you'll find the candid conversations that rarely happen elsewhere—strategic, tactical, and focused on what actually moves the needle in product leadership.


In today's landscape—where AI capabilities are advancing daily, customer expectations are soaring, and the line between good and exceptional product experiences grows sharper—product leaders need a trusted circle of peers and proven tactics that cut through the noise. Over a single, high-impact afternoon, you'll workshop real solutions to your toughest challenges, hear candid accounts of what's working (and what's not), and build relationships that last far beyond the event.

How to Prepare Your Product Data for AI-Driven Roadmaps

AI won’t build great product roadmaps on its own—it needs the right inputs. In this session, Subhash Bahuguna from Viasat shares how his team is approaching the early stages of AI integration by focusing on the foundational “building blocks” that make AI useful: structured opportunity data, long-term investments, and market insights. Learn how to prepare your product ecosystem so AI can eventually do more than just accelerate work—it can help shape strategic direction.
