It opened our Product and Design teams’ aperture to the possibilities of AI, demonstrating how our jobs will be enabled more efficiently. The session highlighted where traditional PM workflows break down and why teams need to move toward a builder mindset. It provided clear, concrete examples and instruction on what modern product work looks like when AI becomes an active part of the development process. I would strongly recommend 021:Events to any product organization preparing for this shift.”— Angela Saffin Portfolio Manager, Boeing “This is the most practical and impactful AI workshop we’ve seen. In one day, our product manager and I went from AI-curious to AI-capable. This workshop gave our product and development teams a clear understanding of what Agentic AI can do for our business. We left knowing how to adopt and apply it to our business to deliver real impact. It’s a game-changer for how we think about developing software and building products.” —Lee Purvis, CTO Real Time Networks Instructors You will receive hands-on support from 2 veterans in the software industry: David Gratton is a co-founder and chairman of the Agentics Foundation and a 25 year software and product veteran covering AI, video games, SaaS, B2B, and consumer products.
