Great days at the Product Leader Summit Copenhagen 2025 – good discussions on what it truly takes to build a product-led organization. Inspiring to exchange experiences with other leaders, who are shaping how strategy, customer value, and empowered teams come together in practice. Many of the discussions resonated deeply with the work we’re doing around aligning business and tech strategy, OKRs, and value creation through clear product ownership. Thanks to everyone for an energizing and thought-provoking summit – and to the organizers for creating such a strong forum for Product Leadership in the nordics. 👏

Agenda
The summit includes two days of peer-driven engaging sessions. We’ll start out with a keynote about a relevant topic, which sets the stage for the sessions for the remainder of the day. The following sessions will be a mix of Open Space sessions, preplanned workshops, and collaborative insight sharing. Each day is designed to help you focus, reflect, and contribute.
Keynote speakers for 2026 are Joakim Sundén (co-creator of the Spotify model) and Portia Tung (executive and leadership coach).
On both days, we begin by setting shared intentions, aligning on purpose, and hearing from a keynote speaker who will describe pragmatic experiences. From there, the agenda unfolds in real-time with the sessions being shaped and facilitated collaboratively by all participants. Across both days, you’ll engage in conversations with peers facing similar challenges, reflect together on what works in practice, and consolidate insights to bring back to your own context. You’ll leave with clarity, practical ideas, and a renewed sense of direction, for your leadership as a whole, not just for your organization.
