Re-imagined as remote-only
In response to the unique challenges of COVID-19 Web Directions Product will now take place remote only. But expect much more than just Zoom based presentations and Slack channels.
Building on the extensive work we've done with our conference presentation platform Conffab, Product://remote aims to re-imagine from the ground up the conference experience, not just port the traditional conference to the Web.
With a focus on highly engaging, expertly filmed and edited, screen-oriented presentations, alongside spaces to connect, communicate and keep in touch with everything around the conference, you'll be immersed as if you were there–maybe even more so.
How will Product://remote be held?
Most online conferences run just like in-person conferences–one or two jam-packed days. But with so many folks working remotely, and spending so much of their day in front of a screen we felt there was the opportunity to rethink this, and do something differently.
So Product://remote will take place over 4 consecutive Fridays (or Thursday for those on the other side of the date line). It will run for 3 and a half hours each session (with a bit of downtime built-in), which also means folks can attend anywhere from the West Coast of the US and Canada, right across to Hong Kong and Singapore either during their workday, or not too much outside it.
This means you'll be attending with folks from across the world, from the comfort of your own home (or maybe office), which we find incredibly exciting.

Public Speaking for Life
Why Product?
COVID19 has already changed our lives, how we work, how we connect and communicate. And while many of us, understandably, live in the hope that when all this blows over, life will return to "normal", many of these changes are here permanently.
Product asks experts in product design and product management to address the question "what does what we do look like post-COVID19?". How do teams communicate? How do we do strategy, research, product management? What challenges have been heightened, and what is less relevant?
If these are issues you're facing and considering, then Product is for you.
For product designers we'll cover all things product design: from research to content, UX, UI, IxD, as well as visual design, and designops.
For product owners and managers we'll cover product management and leadership, and the whole product lifecycle–from communication to discovery, onboarding to growth, strategy and more.
Who's it for?
Product is designed for Product managers and owners, heads of product, and other professionals responsible for delivering digital products.
And it's designed for everyone involved with the design of dgital products and services. From user research, UX, CX, IxD and Product Designers, Design Managers, Art and Creative Directors, content developers and strategists.
In short, if you're involved in delivering product, Product is for you.

About Us
Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for over a decade brought together leading developers, engineers, visual, IxD, UX and product designers, Art and Creative Directors, product managers indeed everyone involved in producing web and digital products to learn from one another, and the World's leading experts across this vast field.
We spend our lives thinking about what comes next, keeping up with trends in technology, practices and processes, and filtering the hype, to make sure you don't miss trends that matter, and don't waste time on hype that doesn't.
We promise attending one of our events will leave you significantly better versed in the challenges you face day to day, and in solutions for addressing them.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we're switching things up a bit for 2020. We'll be organising Product, Design, and Code as online conferences, and our annual extravaganza, Web Directions Summit will take place in Sydney as soon as it is practicable in late 2020 or early 2021.
