About this Event
AI is reshaping product management 👩🏻💻 —how products are built, how decisions are made, and what it takes to break into the field. But between hype, hot takes, and conflicting advice, it’s hard to know what actually matters.
Join YPOSF for a highly interactive evening focused on the real impact of AI on product management—both for PMs already in the role and for those trying to break in.
We’ll be joined by Advika Gupta, Head of Personalization at Sam’s Club, a PM who partners closely with AI/ML teams. With experience across startups, Amazon, and large-scale consumer products, Advika brings a grounded, honest perspective on what AI PM work looks like in practice.
💬 What this event will cover:
Interactive Myth-Busting
This won’t be a passive talk. We’ll engage the room in live myth-busting around AI, product management, and PM careers—designed to challenge assumptions, spark discussion, and surface real-world nuance.
Fireside Chat: Where AI PM Is Headed
The conversation will focus on three core themes:
- How AI is changing the PM role — what’s genuinely new vs. what’s overhyped
- What strong AI PMs do differently — skills, judgment, and tradeoffs that matter most now
- How to navigate PM careers in an AI-driven market — realistic paths for aspiring and early-career PMs.
🙋🏼♀️ Who should attend:
- Aspiring PMs exploring whether product is the right path
- PMs navigating AI-adjacent or data-driven products
- Professionals curious how AI is reshaping PM careers
- Anyone looking for honest, practical insight—without the hype
- No technical or AI background required.
🤝 Networking
Stick around after the discussion to connect with fellow PMs, builders, and members of the YPOSF community.
