Roundtable discussions | Leading through influence
Product marketing rarely comes with formal authority, yet PMMs are expected to align stakeholders across product, sales, leadership, and customer success, often while balancing competing priorities they don't control. This roundtable brings that challenge into the open, giving attendees the chance to work through their hardest influence problems with peers facing the same dynamics, not just hear a single perspective from a stage. Each table tackles a different angle on leading without authority: 1. The stakeholder who won't align: working through your hardest cross-functional relationship 2. Lost in Translation: Whispers From The Field 3. Building executive trust when you don't have a seat at the table yet Attendees will move through candid, structured discussion designed to surface real tactics they can bring back to their own teams, not generic advice.
