Solo Speakers: individual leaders with expertise or insights on a particular topic host a Q&A
Roundtables: a group of leaders with diverse, complimentary perspectives and insights present and host Q&A and outside experts may be invited to join and share feedback

When
Once a month on a Tuesday, we host Product Therapy on Zoom. Typically, it’s the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 11a to 12p PT.
The Format
Solo-speaker conversations usually begin with speakers sharing their background and experience on the topic for 5-10 minutes. Occasionally, they may use slides, but often it’s more off-the-cuff. Then we typically move into Q&A for a dynamic conversation.
If you’d like to speak at Product Therapy and:
This is the first time you've spoken about the topic or you wouldn’t consider yourself an expert on the topic, we suggest coming prepared with slides or outline of your talk. Product Therapy is a great place to prepare for future talks.
