Mind the Product Engage returns to Manchester
We're delighted to revisit Manchester for our second MTP Engage conference in February 2020!
After a successful first MTP Engage Manchester last February, we’re bringing our dedicated product conference back in 2020. This time, we want to really focus on you, the product people who build amazing products and make Manchester proud. We want to help develop your product skills and make you and your team the best that you can be. 
MTP Engage is for passionate product managers of all levels of experience; from people interested in getting into product, to veterans of the discipline, the conference offers insight for all. 
We take the name seriously and aim to create opportunities for our audience to engage in various forms around the event. In terms of program, expect keynotes from international speakers providing a broader perspective on digital product management, complemented with talks and interactive sessions by product people from around the UK sharing their hands-on learnings.
Would you like to share your experience? That’s great! You can apply to speak at the conference now. Just fill out this form.
We look forward to seeing you in Manchester!



Don't Miss the Workshops
The day before the conference we will also be running five deep-dive workshops to help you level up your product management skills! Tickets for the workshops need to be purchased separately from your conference ticket - learn more and grab your workshop ticket now.

Workshop + Conference = Separate Tickets
If you decide you'd like to attend one of our pre-conference workshops you'll need to purchase a separate ticket. Conference tickets DO NOT give you access to workshops, nor do workshop tickets give you access to the conference.
