In a young startup the founder is usually the first product manager: deciding what to build, talking to users and choosing what to drop. These are the ten best product management events of 2027 for founders and early product teams, from London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin and Munich to Santa Clara, New York, San Francisco and Sydney.
We picked events with practical talks, hands-on workshops, a free or cheap ticket or a start-up discount, with Europe first when quality is equal. We checked every date on the organiser's own website and mark each one as Confirmed (date on the official site), Announced (reliable second source only) or Expected (based on past editions only). All ten below are Confirmed for 2027. Two changes stand out: Future Product Days moves from Copenhagen to Berlin, and Mind the Product has not set its 2027 dates yet.

Top 10 Product Management Startup Events of 2027 at a Glance
The 10 best product management events of 2027
1. ProductWorld: 9–11 February 2027, Santa Clara
ProductWorld runs inside DeveloperWeek, so product people and developers share one expo. The $195 OPEN Pass is one of the cheapest ways into a big US product conference, and the DeveloperWeek 2027 Hackathon ends with a demo by the top five teams. PRO workshops run on 9 February. See our list of startup events in San Francisco.
2. ProductCon London: 23 February 2027, London and online
Product School's ProductCon is aimed at product leaders, but anyone can watch online without paying and get the recordings and slides afterwards, which suits a bootstrapped founder. Product School also runs ProductCon New York on 18 May 2027. See our list of startup events in London.
3. UXDX New York: 10–12 May 2027, New York
UXDX brings product managers, researchers, designers and engineers into the same room, which is how most start-up teams actually work. Start-ups can apply for discounted tickets. The venue text on the official page was not consistent when we checked, so confirm it before you book. See our list of startup events in New York.
4. Config: 25–27 May 2027, San Francisco and online
Figma's Config is the biggest product design event of the year, with more than 75 speakers. Keynotes go on YouTube the same day, so you can follow the launches without travelling, and Figma offers scholarships for the in-person event.
5. Product-Led Summit Amsterdam: 26–27 May 2027, Amsterdam
The Product-Led Alliance's Amsterdam summit is the main European event on product-led growth, a good fit if you sell through self-serve sign-ups or a free tier. The Product Operations Summit runs at the same venue on the same days, and the Chief Product Officer Summit on 25 May. Dev.events lists 28–29 May, but the official page says 26–27 May. See our list of startup events in Amsterdam.
6. Leading the Product: 28 May 2027, Sydney
Leading the Product is the main product conference in Australia and is open to founders as well as product teams. A half-day Melbourne roadshow follows on 10 June 2027. See our list of startup events in Sydney.
7. Product at Heart: 24–25 June 2027, Hamburg
Product at Heart is a carefully curated conference about discovery, strategy and how product teams work. A separate leadership event runs on 12–13 April 2027. There is no start-up discount, so buy the early-bird ticket as soon as sales open. See our guide to startup events in Germany.
8. UX London: 6–8 July 2027, London
Clearleft's UX London mixes morning talks with hands-on afternoon workshops. The first day is a Discovery day, so a founder who mainly needs to get better at user research can book just that day.
9. Future Product Days: 22–24 September 2027, Berlin
Future Product Days moves from Copenhagen to Berlin in 2027 and calls itself Europe's flagship product conference, with five tracks (design and UX, executive, development, strategy and trends, and the human edge). Older listings still say Copenhagen. The early price ends on 31 December 2026. See our list of startup events in Berlin.
10. Just Product: 14–15 October 2027, Munich
Product Masterclass runs Just Product in a Munich cinema for about 300 people, small enough to talk to the speakers. It is the cheapest serious product conference on this list. See our list of startup events in Munich.

- Women hold 37% of product management positions and 36% of senior product leadership roles, according to ProductPlan (the page is undated).
- Product-led growth is common but not the rule: 39% of 474 Series A start-ups checked in 2025 offered self-serve sign-up, and 25% a free tier, according to Extruct.

How to choose a product management event
- Start free. ProductCon's online ticket and Config's same-day keynotes cost nothing; Just Product (€199–€299) and ProductWorld's $195 pass are the cheapest in-person options.
- Pick workshops over talks. UX London, Product at Heart and Future Product Days run hands-on workshop days, which teach more than a day of keynotes.
- Match the topic to your problem. Product-led growth: Product-Led Summit. User research: UX London's Discovery day. Design: Config. Team practice: UXDX.
- Ask for the start-up rate. UXDX has discounted tickets for start-ups; Product at Heart has none, so book its early bird.
- Watch the early-bird deadlines. Future Product Days' €430 price ends on 31 December 2026 and Just Product's €199 tickets on 31 January 2027.
