Speakers

Practitioners, not keynote tourists

Every speaker has shipped the thing they are talking about in the last two years. Talks run 30 minutes with 10 minutes of questions.

Amara Osei

Head of Product, Lanternfish Health — opening keynote on retiring features without losing customers.

Daniel Reyes

Principal Designer, Quarry Labs — designing for the second year of a product, after launch.

Mei Lin Tan

VP Engineering, Brightwater Freight — platform teams that unblock others instead of queueing them.

Rohan Iyer

Research Lead, Fernway Bank — customer discovery that still happens when the deadline moves up.

Plus 26 more speakers across the two stages and workshop rooms. The full line-up is announced in March.
