Pendomonium is a one-of-a-kind product festival hosted by Pendo. We’re proud to be in our eighth year of hosting phenomenal speakers, attentive attendees, and a boatload of Pendo employees.
If you’ve never been before, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know and why Pendomonium is one of the most unique events you can attend.
What is Pendomonium?
Pendomonium is an annual product festival hosted by Pendo. It will take place from October 7-9, 2024 at Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh, NC. Every year, Pendomonium includes:
- One full day of training workshops to help you hone your craft
- Tons of educational content—including 40 sessions and multiple keynotes with industry leaders from GM, Spotify, The New York Times, Yahoo! and more
- A massive end-of-festival party with musical icons. (This year, Rev Run from RUN-D.M.C is our headliner).
Notice we say festival instead of conference—there’s a reason for that. Yes, you’ll get the same caliber of speakers and presentations you’d expect from a top-tier conference, but it’s so much more than that. Unique experiences, gamification, activities, and an all-out party to close out the last day.
Check out the full agenda.

Pendomonium is for anyone looking to learn about the latest trends in product, improve their Pendo knowledge and skills, or bring a product-led approach to their organization.
The majority of our attendees work in product teams—but this event also benefits customer success, marketing, UX, enablement, IT, and sales teams. We’ve carefully curated our content to build the best possible experience for a wide range of attendees. We have sessions covering topics by leaders from General Motors, Spotify, Google, Yahoo!, Asana, Cox Automotive, Nasdaq, PNC, and many more.
What is the optional add-on training?
Monday, October 7th, is a day full of seven unique workshops that will provide specialized training in a small-group setting. The workshop trainers will provide practical strategies and insights you can apply immediately upon returning to your team. Choose from the following workshop options:
- Pendo Essentials for those new to using Pendo and need the basics
- Pendo Admin if you’re leading Pendo implementation at your organization, this is for you
- Product Management Foundations is an overview course that helps product managers develop a broader understanding of their role

- Communication & Alignment teaches product teams to increase their strategic impact and organizational influence
- From fear to future-proofed uses a game-based approach to teach attendees how to drive smarter AI adoption within their organization
- Product Roadmaps, Strategy and Alignment focuses on roadmap strategy, best practices, and how to clarify your product’s vision
When you register for your ticket, you’ll see an option to add on a workshop. All workshops cost $600 each and run in parallel, so you can only attend one. Read more about the workshop key takeaways.
What is #mtpcon?
New this year to Pendomonium is a stage dedicated to Mind the Product, the world’s largest community of product managers. And for the first time ever, we’re bringing their flagship event, #mtpcon, into the full Pendomonium experience.
With two full days of programming, #mtpcon at Pendomonium combines the strategies you need to build better products, the career advice you need to advance your craft, and the insights you need to prepare for the future—all wrapped in the excitement of a product festival.
What is Pendopalooza?
To wrap up our event, we like to throw a party. On Wednesday, starting at 5:45 p.m., Pendopalooza takes over the main stage. In previous years, we’ve had some incredible artists you know and love, including Big Boi, Ben Folds, FLS+, and Ellie Sax.
This year, we’re excited to welcome Rev Run from RunDMC as our featured performer. Expect music, dancing, and a lot of fun surprises. We go big, then we go home.
