What you'll learn

Can AI now do everything a PM does?

AI handles tasks but PMs provide judgment, context, and leadership. Learn how top PMs use AI without losing their edge.

AI doesn’t eliminate your value—it changes it

You’ll explore what PMs uniquely bring to the table and how to double down on those skills instead of competing with AI.

Stop chasing prompts, start shaping strategy

Many PMs get stuck trying tools instead of changing how they work. Learn how to shift focus to outcomes, not outputs.

Real tactics from Sidebar’s private peer circles

Sidebar leaders share stories and lessons from inside their companies; what’s working, what’s not, and how they adapt.

Why this topic matters

AI is reshaping how PMs work—fast. Those who adapt early will lead the next generation of products, teams, and strategy. This talk, paired with stories from Sidebar’s private peer circles, gives you a candid, real-world look at how leaders are navigating AI. Walk away with the mindset, tools, and examples to stay relevant and irreplaceable.
