RALEIGH — Pendo is gearing up for Pendomonium 2023. The Product Experience platform has announced the keynote speakers and released the agenda for this year’s event, taking place in downtown Raleigh October 17-19.

Started in 2017, Pendomonium is marketed as “a festival of product” and attendees represent product teams, as well as those who support product customer support, marketing, UX, training, IT, and sales. This year’s event offers more than 30 breakout sessions across tracks including “Drive workplace efficiency”, “Lead in product”, and “Accelerate your Pendo initiatives.” The announcement of the schedule highlights planned topic like AI, product-led growth, and product management best practices.

Todd Olsen, Pendo CEO and co-founder was enthusiastic about the implications of AI in today’s press release.

“There’s never been a better time for an event like Pendomonium. AI is changing how we build digital products and we must come together as a product community to consider the potential as well as the implications of this exciting technology.”

Pendomonium Highlights

Pendomonium isn’t all learning. The event prides itself on not being “your average work event.” Festival-style food, music, and entertainment will be available. This year’s event includes a performance by seven-time Grammy Award winner Big Boi, formerly one-half of OutKast.

The hybrid indoor-outdoor event will also include networking, a Welcome reception, and “Pendopalooza” the Thursday evening event that will wrap things up.

Speakers will be focusing on the theme “How to break away”, and include:

  • Fraser Kelton, a venture partner at Spark Capital who previously served as head of product at OpenAI. Kelton wrote OpenAI’s first product roadmap and led the product development teams behind ChatGPT and DALL-E, the products that brought generative AI into the mainstream.
  • Christina Tosi, the rule-breaking, award-winning chef and founder of Milk Bar, whose inventive and nostalgic treats have fueled a national dessert empire with locations across the U.S., a robust e-commerce platform, and products in grocery stores nationwide.
  • Quincy Olatunde, vice president of data product management at Peacock, who leads a key product team driving innovation and growth for the streaming platform. His team is charged with leveraging data to retain and grow U.S. subscribers, expand the platform’s technology globally, and to deliver the best possible viewing experience for a record number of live events, including the first-ever streaming-exclusive NFL playoff game and the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

Pendomonium takes place Tuesday, October 17 through Thursday, October 19, at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh. Tickets are still available and additional details about the event can be found at https://www.pendo.io/pendomonium/.
