The 1st European Product-Led Conference, November 2019

I wrote last year about the South Eastern Mediterranean eCommerce & Digital Marketing Expo. This year the event will take place in Greece in November 2019, and will include the 1st European Conference focusing on practices organizations can adopt when making the transition to a Product-Led Go To Market strategy. Speakers will be professionals from the US and European community willing to share their expertise. The Product-Led GTM model is already emerging across US and Europe and concerns all kinds of digital products no matter their velocity and target audience. Exemplary successful Product-Led organizations include Hubspot, Intercom, Gainsight, Drift, Wistia, and others. Event homepage: https://www.ecdmexpo.com
