RALEIGH, NC—JUNE 6, 2019—Pendo.io, the product cloud company, today announced details for its annual Pendomonium conference, to be held September 9, 10 and 11 at the Raleigh Convention Center and other venues in downtown Raleigh.
Pendomonium 2019 will celebrate the craft of designing and building exceptional software products, taking inspiration from leaders within product management, UX, marketing, and strategy, but also from unexpected quarters, including art, design, music, and food. Spotlighting masters of craft, both nationally and locally, Pendo expects to draw more than 1,000 attendees from the fields of product management, customer success, user experience, and marketing. Pendomonium will include over 40 sessions, comprising keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, and hands-on learning labs from industry leaders and Pendo experts. The four session tracks include:
- Pendo best practices–which includes lectures, workshops and applied training labs for beginner, intermediate and advanced users of Pendo.
- Collaboration and connection–which explores the cross-functional intersections across marketing, engineering, customer success and other departments that make product teams world-class contributors to company success.
- Product design and execution–which focuses on the art and science of building and evolving innovative products and experiences.
- Product strategy and leadership–which explores principles and practices for product leadership, how to organize and scale teams, and what it takes to earn a seat at the table.
“We’re excited to bring Pendomonium back to Downtown Raleigh for the third year,” said Todd Olson, co-founder and CEO of Pendo. “This year will be even bigger and better, providing richer and more diverse content and experiences for the Pendo ecosystem and the product community.”
