Most product teams are spending their best hours on work that shouldn't require them. Scheduling. Summarizing. Formatting. Following up. Meanwhile, the strategy, prioritization, and customer insight work, the stuff only you can do keeps getting squeezed. Dan Olsen (author of The Lean Product Playbook, advisor to Google, Meta, Amazon, and Uber) is coming to Vancouver to show product teams exactly how to fix that. How to Work Smarter and Faster with Claude Cowork Dan will walk through real workflows using Cowork's Projects, Skills, and Scheduled Tasks, so you leave knowing how to delegate the repetitive stuff and reclaim your time for deep work. No technical background required. 📅 May 4th, 2026 📍 SFU Segal Graduate School of Business, 500 Granville St, Vancouver BC 🎟️ Grab your ticket before they're gone: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/how-to-work-smarter-and-faster-with-claude-cowork-with-dan-olsen-tickets-1987366935001?aff=oddtdtcreator $10 Member $15 Non-Member Discount codes will be available in the most recent ProductBC email.

Is your EdTech product building for the right person? Is your user the learner? The instructor? The org signing the contract? And does "success" mean a completed course — or an actual skill gained? On April 20, ProductBC and PM Hive are bringing together three EdTech product leaders to dig into the questions most product teams avoid: → Who really owns learning outcomes? → Should products optimize for learning convenience or learning impact? → How do you separate a product problem from a content problem from a pedagogy problem? → And what does AI actually change — and what does it not? Our Panelists: 🎙️ Marco Ciffo — Group Product Manager, Thinkific 🎙️ Randy Epp — VP of Product, Musora Media 🎙️ Nilakshi Kundu — Product Manager, Pathwise Solutions Our Moderator: 🎙️ Kasey Fu — AI Product Manager, Disco AI This isn't a panel about roadmaps or feature prioritization. It's about what it actually takes to build for learners — and why that's harder than it looks. Networking opportunities before and after the panel discussion. 📅 April 20 | 5:30–8:30 PM 📍 C180, UBC Robson Square — Downtown Vancouver 🎟️ Grab your spot: Eventbrite Link $10 for Members $15 for Non-Members Whether your product curious 👀, networking with product professionals or want to learn more! There’s something for everyone! Coupon codes available in your ProductBC email or PM Hive community Refreshments provided. Seats are limited. A ProductBC Community Collaboration Event.
