No speakers, no sponsors - and you pick up your own bar tab.

Non-Admissions
**All non-admissions are simply due to not meeting the above criteria. **There are many reasons why non-PMs may wish to find active PMs. Often for advertising, recruiting, or finding their first job. This community has a high concentration of verified PMs, which makes it a valuable collection of eyeballs, but our promise is to never "sell" your presence like this.This means that generally speaking - sales reps, job seekers, recruiters, or otherwise self-promotional members are not admitted.Strict criteria also ensures quality. Quality of the interactions (the more non-PMs, the poorer these conversations get), as well as the quality of our Annual Industry Reports (the more non-PMs, the less accurate our data becomes).

Community Guidelines
1. It starts with you!
Product People started as a grassroots movement for product managers to connect and get to know each other. The key ingredient that makes it special has never changed: engaged members! So ask questions, share resources, and post your thoughts. Chances are, you'll be helping out a fellow product person.
2. Be respectful, kind, and patient
This goes without saying - toxic behaviour will not be tolerated in this community. Debates and discussions are how we keep our community vibrant, but this should never cross a line to rude behaviour. Ultimately we're all product professionals and we're all here to better ourselves, so let your Canadian-ness show!
3. Self-promotion has its limits
Look, we all know the advertising value of having so many PM's eyeballs gathered in one spot... but product people aren't here to be sold to, or advertised to. If you're throwing an event or sharing a valuable resource - that's great! If you're promoting your own blog, product, or initiative that directly benefits your personal agenda - that's a different story. There's no silver bullet to moderating this, but if you must self-promote: do it with class, do it for the community, and ensure you're benefiting your peers.
