Don’t Miss These Speakers at #mtpcon San Francisco [Mind the Product]

Mind the Product returns to Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco on July 16-17 and promises to be one of our best product conferences yet, with a leadership forum, more workshops, more networking events around the conference, and more fun than ever before. As always the core of the conference is our line-up of amazing speakers, and the insights and stories they bring to the conference is what starts all those conversations. So I’m beyond excited to announce our first five speakers for #mtpcon SF:
