AI is changing everything

What we build. Who does the building. How we measure success.

We're all asking the same questions: How our jobs might evolve as AI becomes a teammate? Where should automation take the lead? What metrics will lead to success?

Pendomonium is about asking those questions and getting answers. We’ll dig into what it takes to drive AI adoption—where to start, how to scale, and what good looks like.


Three days. Dozens of perspectives. One space to explore what’s next—together.

LEARN

From roadmap prioritization and product-led growth to AI-driven transformation and proving ROI from AI tools, Pendomonium will give you new skills to help advance your career.

CONNECT

Pendomonium attracts anyone who touches product—IT teams, CS leaders, marketing, and of course product managers. Build new relationships that last well beyond the event.

VIBE

Forget the stale ballroom and join a festival-style conference experience where education, networking, and entertainment come together to create something you won’t find anywhere else.

Making product decisions that survive scrutiny

From crisis to comeback: How Global Payments rebuilt user trust after a product launch gone wrong
