The "Global Product Management Talk" was initially conceived by Cindy F. Solomon as a virtual forum where people who are passionate about product excellence yet situated globally could interact in real time with thought leaders. The Global Product Management Talk introduced the Socratic Twitter Chat format and continues to raise the bar on what is possible to accomplish in a real time, open platform event by encouraging participants to expand their knowledge base with each event, utilize new products in real time as we introduce and beta test various products for participating, encourage participants to showcase their knowledge and share resources, and crowdsource educational content for product people to stay apprised of new developments, thinkers, and events in the practice of managing products from inception to market and innovation.

What started as the weekly #ProdMgmtTalk Twitter Chat with speakers conversing on Skype, morphed into the popular broadcast where the action takes place in the live speaker discussion with host, Cindy F. Solomon, shout outs to twitter participants, and opportunity for listeners to call in to speak directly with host and showcased speaker. Participants are welcome to listen live at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/prodmgmttalk, call in to talk on the show (323) 927-2957 and to participate on Twitter by following @ProdMgmtTalk and tweeting using the hashtag #ProdMgmtTalk.

Cindy F. Solomon founded, the Startup Product movement about cross-functional collaboration for product excellence.

Startup Product Events including in person events, such as the Summit and Talks , as well as digital events and trainings, are intended to be an opportunity for everyone who is passionate about product excellence, regardless of title, industry, or stage of growth, to come together to share, learn and talk about what it really takes to produce products that people love and how to build sustainable businesses and revenue streams based on product excellence.

Everyone is welcome to contribute their point of view, workshop their product dilemma, share their lessons learned in the process of shepherding products from idea to inception to build to launch and beyond. We need a place where all perspectives and orientations of what the product requires are welcome. Everyone who sheds light on specific areas that are essential to product excellence are welcome to present and contribute to the conversation.

There is a lifecycle that every product, startup, idea and project passes through to be realized. Focusing on where the product is in its lifecycle enables a conversation that brings us all together on what will serve the product most to arrive at product/market fit, sustain growth and generate revenue streams.

We welcome people from all disciplines and stages of product evolution:

Designers
UX professionals
Founders, funders, CEOs
Software developers
Product Marketers, Agile Marketers, Growth Hackers
Product managers
Community managers
Customer Support & Service
Content strategists
Business Analysts
Project managers
And anyone who loves to talk and think about products!

Come share what you've learned and learn from others about the art AND discipline of all the facets involved in the process of breathing life into a product, managing actionable goals and producing scalable businesses...

We encourage open debate so the group can learn from us and each other. StartUp Product events may be led by a guest speaker or a panel of experts ideally representative of the local community.
