Moonshot thinking

Join us for our annual Verdane Product&Tech Day in Stockholm, a one and a half day of in-person connections, inspiring keynotes, candid panels and round table discussions - all centered on our event theme: Moonshot Thinking: The Reimagination of Everything. 

This theme is all about the fact that AI is blowing past yesterday’s playbooks, giving every team - in every function - the tools to rethink products, markets, and ways of working from the ground up. During the Event we´ll explore how to frame audacious goals, rally teams behind them, and embed courageous leadership practices to turn transformations into lasting value, across 3 main topics: Courageous Leadership; From Innovation to Impact; Speed & Efficiency.

Along the way, you’ll meet peers tackling the same opportunities and challenges, so you will leave not just inspired, but armed with practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a network ready to support your next big move.

We are looking forward to seeing you in person in Stockholm, and promise you energy, collaboration, inspiration, new insights and learnings and a bunch of great peers! 

For any questions in the meantime, email events@verdane.com.

We looking forward to meeting you in person!

Best wishes,
Verdane Product & Tech Day team
