Thursday, May 14, 2026 — Product Management Speed Networking

Most people want to build their network, but many feel that “networking” is uncomfortable and forced. So we’re going to take the stress out of it for you!

Forget the awkward small talk and “wallflower” moments and join the St. Louis Product Management group for a high-energy, fast-paced networking session designed to help you build more meaningful connections in 90 minutes than most people do in a year.

This was one of the more popular sessions at ProductCamp St. Louis in March, so we decided to run it again to allow more people to participate and to help facilitate more connections in the St. Louis Product Management community.

Pre-registration is requested via this Google Form.

Using a structured “speed” format, you’ll rotate through 10-minute lightning rounds to swap insights, share your biggest product wins (or epic fails), and expand your local STL circle. Whether you’re looking for a mentor, a new hire, or just a fresh perspective, this session is the ultimate shortcut to meeting your next “product bestie.”

What you’ll walk away with:

  • Rapid-Fire Insights: Diverse perspectives on product challenges from across the STL ecosystem.
  • Deepened Connections: Skip the “What do you do?” and get straight to the “How did you solve it?”
  • A “Pocketful” of Contacts: A expanded network of local peers ready to help you level up.

We provide the conversation starters; you provide the passion. Come ready to talk fast, listen well, and leave inspired!
