What is Leading the Product

The home of Product thinking

For over a decade, Leading the Product (LTP) has been the Australian product community platform that helps product and adjacent professionals learn, connect and improve how they lead, build and deliver products.

Through conferences, leadership forums, practical labs, roadshows, meetups and year-round content, LTP brings together experienced practitioners, product leaders and adjacent disciplines to share ideas, strengthen their craft and tackle the challenges shaping modern product organisations.
