XTREME CONFIDENCE ♦ XTREME COMPETENCE
PDMA’s 35th Product Innovation Management Annual Global Conference is sharply focused on advancing individuals’ product development and management COMPETENCE through DEEP-DIVE DISCOVERY LABS as well as on building organizational CONFIDENCE through KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS and CASE STUDIES from leaders in product and service innovation, development and management that are willing to share their secrets to success.
Discover > Develop > Deliver > New Products and Services
In today’s competitive environment, the product innovation process leaves absolutely no room for inefficiency or ineffectiveness. Companies at the top of their game can drive ahead of the competition. Commercially and strategically, successful product development requires all steps in the process – discovery, development and delivery – to work synergistically to bring new products and services to market. To be successful, you need to continuously validate your COMPETENCE and to build your CONFIDENCE across the full cycle of product and service innovation, development and management.
This is YOUR conference. No matter where you participate within the development process – or whether your organization is product- or service-focused – you can customize your experience to meet your needs. With a wide variety of speakers, themes and opportunities, the decision is yours. Leading product development practitioners have selected content that is applicable to all industries, all roles within the product development process, all experience levels, all geographic locations and all sizes of companies.
Who should attend? Anyone interested in building COMPETENCE and CONFIDENCE! Whether you are new to the field looking to build skills – or are an experienced professional seeking the latest strategies – there is content for you.
This is the conference by Product Development Professionals for Product Development Professionals.
While most professional organizations are vertical and specialize in one industry or one function, PDMA’s membership and sphere of influence is horizontal and multifunctional, as is the new product development field itself. This unique characteristic allows PDMA to address innovation management issues in the same way as multifunctional new product development teams do in practice. Attend the conference that inspires a global community of innovators!
