Judgment in the Fog: Making Better Product Decisions in the Age of AI

Tue, Nov 10, 10:30 PM

From ProductTank Columbus

4.8

**The Product Skills AI Can't Replace** AI can synthesize research, analyze data, and prioritize work. But when everything feels important and there’s no clear right answer, how do you decide what matters most? Join **ProductTank Columbus** and **Mike Belsito, Head of Product Evangelism at Pendo and Mind the Product**, to explore three practical habits for cutting through the noise, uncovering the real problem behind stakeholder requests, and prioritizing work that makes the greatest impact. **AI can help you process more information. Great product judgment helps you know what to do with it.** Doors open at **5:30 PM**, and the talk begins at **6:00 PM**, followed by Q&A and time to connect. Food and drinks will be provided by ZoCo, our generous host. Parking is available directly behind ZoCo and in the lot across the street. \*Towing will not be enforced in the paid lot on the day of the event.
