Details
Description:

Navigating the Internet of Things is a challenging task for product managers who deal with connected products. Wisconsin businesses have a robust presence in developing connected devices across a wide variety of industries. We will hear from product managers to hear what is different about bringing connected devices to market and look at how they manage the process.

In developing connected devices, product managers face several challenges that can make or break a product's success. One of the biggest challenges is managing the complexity of integrating different technologies and systems, such as hardware, software, and networking protocols. Additionally, product managers must balance the need for innovation with the need for usability and affordability, as customers demand products that are intuitive, user-friendly, and cost-effective. Finally, product managers must keep up with the fast pace of technological change and ensure their products remain relevant in a rapidly evolving market. This session will provide attendees with strategies and insights for overcoming these challenges and succeeding in the world of connected products.

We will hear from product leaders at Sub-Zero and Mercury Marine who will share their journey
