Hosted virtually on April 7 and 8, our signature Product Development Conference 2021 (PDC’21) gathered 2,192 product managers, strategists, developers, and enthusiasts across the tech community. Participants came from over 26 countries, with Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Thailand having the most attendees.
The two days were filled with actionable insights from product leaders from top companies like Grab, Canva, and Tokopedia. One of the most popular sessions was by best-selling author Nir Eyal, who talked about how to apply his famous Hook Model to develop products for the Southeast Asian region. Another crowd favorite was “How Canva Keeps Users Experiencing Product Value,” where James Frankel from Canva shared how the company optimizes its product activation rate.
