Gen AI Product Mastery Bootcamp: From AI User Flows to Final Product Concept
This section helps participants translate design thinking into actionable AI product concepts, combining user experience, metrics, risk management, and MVP planning.

Participants start by transforming problem framing into a concrete user experience, mapping the user journey, defining AI touchpoints, planning for ambiguity and failure modes, and designing both the “happy path” and critical edge cases. They then learn to measure success in AI products, aligning user outcomes with business impact, distinguishing product vs. model metrics, and managing data and operational risks. Finally, participants consolidate insights into a structured, pitch-ready AI product concept, finalizing problem statements, user journeys, AI interactions, data needs, measurement approach, and MVP definition.

By the end of this block, participants will have a fully defined, realistic, and ambitious AI product concept, ready for prototyping and presentation.

Gen AI Product Mastery Bootcamp: Kickoff & Foundations
The morning sessions lay the foundation for designing AI-powered products. Participants begin by aligning on teams, roles, and project prompts, then dive into the fundamentals of AI product management and problem discovery.

The day starts with a unified kickoff to welcome attendees, provide orientation, form teams, and frame problems for creative, focused collaboration. Next, participants explore AI product management fundamentals, mastering core principles such as reasoning, pattern recognition, summarization, and generation. They then define users, articulate pain points, and identify where AI can deliver real value, while uncovering technical, data, behavioral, and ethical risks. Finally, attendees focus on designing AI-driven experiences, learning user-centric design, human-in-the-loop flows, fallback states, and how to scope a feasible, valuable MVP.

By the end of the morning, teams are aligned, a clear problem statement is established, and participants have a first blueprint for AI-driven product ideas.

Reshaping Strategic Leadership in the Age of AI
[Keynote] From Buzzword to Business Case: Strategic AI Product Management
Too often, AI enters product roadmaps as a checkbox for innovation rather than a driver of meaningful value. This session reframes AI adoption through the lens of product management strategy: starting from business cases, grounding in discovery, and measuring outcomes. We’ll look at the risks of hype-driven implementation, and instead propose methods to identify AI use cases that strengthen your competitive edge and deliver tangible results. Participants will gain a toolkit to critically evaluate AI’s role in their strategy and to lead AI discussions with clarity and confidence.

Advancing your Strategy by Integrating AI into your Sytems
Rethinking Product Strategy in the Age of AI: From Features to Foundations
As AI-powered copilots become standard across industries, their presence is no longer a differentiator—it’s the baseline. The real opportunity now lies in how companies reshape their product strategies to lead in an AI-native world.

This session challenges product and strategy leaders to look beyond surface-level integrations and rethink how AI informs their core value proposition, team structures, and roadmap decisions. It’s not just about adding intelligence to existing products—it’s about building products and organizations that are fundamentally more adaptive, data-driven, and aligned with emerging user behaviors.

We’ll cover:
1.Why the “copilot phase” is just the beginning—and what comes next
2.The mindset shift required to move from reactive to strategic AI integration
3.The emerging role of the AI Product Manager as a cross-functional catalyst
4.How to structure experimentation and product discovery around fast-moving technology
5.Approaches for gathering meaningful product requirements in a landscape where user needs are still forming

This is a conversation for those ready to evolve—beyond features, beyond hype—and shape what the next generation of intelligent products can be.
