In this episode, Petra Wille and Teresa Torres sit down to talk about what’s coming to Product at Heart 2026—from the speaker lineup to the workshops to the big structural shifts shaping next year’s conference. They unpack why curating a single-track event in the age of fast-moving AI is harder than ever, what kinds of conversations they want to elevate on stage, and how the team is thinking about creating deeper connections and hands-on learning opportunities for product people. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Teresa’s Maker Studio workshop, updates on returning favorites like Rich Mironov and Büşra’s metrics workshop, and a first peek at the expanded product leadership retreat. If you’re planning your 2026 calendar—or just curious how conferences evolve alongside the craft—this is a fun and thoughtful walkthrough of what to expect.
