Product Conclave: Why I Love It

I really loved being there because:

  1. You meet and get to know some really cool people (Sharad, Avinash, Mukund, MR were just a few cool people I met at these events first). There is a bigger list but this will give you some idea of what I am talking about)
  2. The quality of conversations is one of the best in the industry. I have been to several conferences in US and India. This one beats them all.
  3. You get to hear some outstanding plenary sessions (Guy Kawasaki, Vinod Khosla in the past Neil Patel this year)
  4. There is a strong sense of community and a great feeling that you are among some of the smartest entrepreneurs in the country.
  5. It is a place where I love to experiment. The Unconference sessions were one such experiment. I really enjoyed them. I was thrilled to the core when some people showed up in all 4 of them. I was thrilled even more when I heard a few comment  ”we come here because we can discuss our problems”.
  6. If you volunteer for the event (hint, hint) you get to rub shoulders with some of the most dedicated and successful people who are interested in growing the product eco-system. And you get to wear a cool T-shirt that says that “I Put This Together”.
  7. Every one seems so approachable and helpful. This is something I heard over and over again from many of the participants.

I can make a bigger  list, but you get the drift.
