Our signature Product Development Conference is going digital. Here’s how it’ll be different

Dubbed as the black swan event of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused problems  for individuals and businesses alike and has forced them to grapple with  a new normal. 

With several events in the pipeline this year, Tech in Asia has undeniably been affected. Despite this, we have decided to view the situation as an opportunity to reinvent our events.

We’re happy to announce that our signature Product Development Conference will be hosted online over four days, from  July 1 to 2 and July 8 to 9!

Moving our conference online opens up various opportunities, and we are excited to see these possibilities come to fruition.

Offering more valuable content and speakers

Hosting the Product Development Conference online across multiple days and time zones provides an open and more accessible experience. By removing geographic boundaries, we are now able to expand our content to focus on two segments instead of just one: 

  • July 1 to 2: Building and scaling great products in Indonesia
  • July 8 to 9: Developing and growing great products across Asia

With this, we can engage global and regional speakers without worrying about incurring high logistics costs. 

Already, we have James Mayes (CEO, Mind The Product), Stevanus Christopel (vice president and  head of design, Ovo), and Monika Rudjiono (chief marketing officer, Lazada Indonesia) as confirmed speakers. They will share technical expertise to help you grow and scale your product across the following tracks: 

  • Product development
  • Research and analysis
  • Product management
  • Product leadership
  • Product design
  • Product marketing.

Enjoy lower prices

The move also means that we don’t have to commit to any rental or logistics costs. As an attendee, you’ll benefit from this through lower ticket prices.  

At just US$43.50 (compared to US$106 last year), PDC’20 Virtual will give you access to more than 30 downloadable sessions and allow you to connect with attendees from all over the globe.

You’ll be getting more bang for your buck – who doesn’t love a great deal? 

Real-time interaction between speakers and attendees

One of the key differences between virtual conferences and in-person events is the level of interaction and engagement between speakers and attendees. Many times, stage content at offline events turn out to be a one-way street, with little to no platform for attendees to ask the speaker questions. 

Online conferences like PDC’20 Virtual enable you to engage with speakers directly through live chats and Q&A sessions. Speakers can also invite you to join them on stage during the presentation to share insights, questions, and experiences – just be ready with your webcam! 

Never miss a session

Have you ever attended a physical conference and felt disappointed because you missed some sessions that you really wanted to catch? With PDC’20 Virtual, we will be recording all sessions and making them available after the event, so you can still catch up on valuable insights at your own time and pace.

Expanding your connections

Conferences are one of the best platforms for people to connect and create fruitful relationships.

While nothing beats in-person connections, PDC’20 Virtual will bring a more international set of attendees, expanding your network globally. All you need is an internet connection. 

During the event, you’ll also be able to start private conversations with other attendees. 

Discover new opportunities

PDC’20 Virtual gives companies the option to have their own branded virtual stage. Brands can share what they have to offer or even use the space to conduct virtual hiring sessions.

Get in touch with us here if your business is interested to explore these opportunities. 

As an attendee, these branded virtual stages would allow you to discover hiring opportunities or find out more information about a certain company. 

Get ready to gain insights about product development from the comfort of your living room

If you’re a developer, product manager, IT engineer, or product enthusiast who wants to grow and scale your product, PDC’20 Virtual will be the perfect platform for you to learn from Asia’s experts. 

Tickets are now at 25% off until April 30, 11:59 pm GMT+7. This means you’ll pay only US$43.50 (U.P US$58) for full access to four days’ worth of insightful content.
