What is Working Products?

Working Products is the conference for (agile) product culture—for product managers, product owners, and anyone responsible for developing and supporting digital products and services. If you want to work more successfully in a team, develop better products together, and exchange ideas with experts, Working Products is the place for you.

Why does Working Products exist?

We want to create a place where product managers can share experiences and learn new things.
The development of innovative and successful digital services and products is extremely complex, has to be done very quickly and requires maximum customer and user focus.

This requires a product and customer culture within the company, new forms of organization and collaboration and the appropriate methods and processes. Mindfulness and mindful leadership are also becoming increasingly important.

Some companies are already very advanced in this area, while the rest are trying to catch up and learn from the pioneers. There is still a lot of room for improvement, especially in the day-to-day work of product managers. We are therefore inviting product leaders to share their experiences in presentations and to be available as discussion partners during the two days.
The Working Products Conference will thus become a place for intensive exchange.

How the conference days work

10 years of "Working Products" - we are different from other conferences

"Working Products" is the conference for agile working as it was originally intended: free of hierarchical structures, no lecturing from above, no show. Agile working culture as it should be. People over Process....

People with the same interests and topics come together at "Working Products". Experienced and committed speakers who have something to say as well as interested and motivated participants who make a difference - and who want to make a difference.

Program planning:

Panel discussion on AI in product development
Lectures: **The 17 presentations will continue to take place live on site in two tracks at the Goldbekhaus. As usual, the presentations will be followed by the Speakers Corner.
Workshops: The 4 to 6 workshops will take place on September 7 and 8 in the afternoon as online workshops. This way, everything is spread out and the 09.09. can be used for the journey.
Open sessions: On Thursday afternoon there will of course be open sessions again.
By spreading the presentations over 2 days and the open sessions, the "Working Products" promotes exchange among like-minded people. Without fear of contact, approachable and at eye level. Familiar and professional at the same time.
NEW: All participants can suggest topics for the Open Space immediately after purchasing their ticket.

As always, the supporting program includes meditation and mindfulness exercises as well as Qigong and yoga. We are planning live music again And let's see what else we can come up with. After all, we're celebrating an anniversary :-)
As usual, the vegan-vegetarian catering will be provided by the wonderful Produktionsschule Altona.

Looking back: Working Products 2025

2025 was great!

With over 110 participants and speakers, more than 20 sessions, and two intensive days on site, it was—as always—a celebration!
We are still completely thrilled: the atmosphere was approachable, open, and full of energy. With AI as the big topic, Working Products was even more intense than in previous years: a place of genuine connection and honest exchange.

It felt like the conversations had already started before the opening. The participants already knew each other from the remote workshops on Monday and Tuesday, so they immediately had familiar faces and points of connection.
The Goldbekhaus was once again the perfect location—outside by the canal, vegetarian catering from the Altona production school, and the perfect setting for trusting exchanges.
In 2025, it was clear once again: at Working Products, everyone probably talked to everyone else.

Cooperations

📍 Location: Goldbekhaus Hamburg

The Goldbekhaus is more than just an event venue—it's our home for Working Products. Located right on the waterfront, with plenty of space indoors and outdoors, it offers the perfect blend of urban creativity and a family atmosphere. Ideal for good conversations, new ideas, and genuine encounters—just the way we like it.

🍽️ Catering: Produktionsschule Altona - Great catering from nice people!

We have been working with Produktionsschule Altona for over 10 years now. First only at the World Usability Day and then since 2016 also for the Working Products Conference.
The Produktionsschule Altona is a special kind of school. Here, young people can catch up on their first general school-leaving certificate (Hauptschulabschluss). What makes it special are the various workshops (carpentry, painting, gastronomy, Internet and graphics), where the young people learn a craft.
