We'd like to apologize in advance to everyone in Richmond whose AI anxiety was coming along nicely. Dean Peters is about to ruin it 🎤 Dean trains product managers for a living, so he's heard "is AI coming for my job?" in more classrooms than he can count. On October 22, he's taking the ProductFest 2026 keynote stage to give a room full of PMs the same straight answer he gives his students. Bring questions. He has a soft spot for the awkward ones. 📍 Science Museum of Virginia, Richmond 💻 Not in Richmond? Get Dean for six live sessions in Optimal Product Management, online from October 12 to 21: https://lnkd.in/dAfDJwF7
Every week there's a new model, a new demo, and a new LinkedIn prophet telling you your job is either dead or about to become a prompt. So here's a question for you: what's your strategy when the ground keeps shifting? Dean Peters from Productside is keynoting ProductFest 2026 with "Getting Past the AI Chaos, Confusion, and Crapola." His take: AI is coming for the busywork, the beige, and the theater. The people who know which problem is worth solving, and how to build the right thing well, are in a better spot than the headlines suggest. If you need to sort out which of your skills just lost value and which just became your leverage, you don’t want to miss this one. Oh, and, bring the coworker who's been nodding along in all-hands with a very straight face. ➡️ October 22nd at the Science Museum of Virginia. Richmond Technology Council - rvatech/ Link in comments.
