Each month, ProductTO organizes an evening of small group discussions for experienced product managers to delve deeper into the context and opportunities surrounding our work.
Each event starts at 6.30pm sharp with an introduction by each facilitator. This is the most important part of the evening as it will help you understand the topic their group will be discussing and why it’s important to them.
After the intros, you’ll choose a discussion group to join. This isn’t a passive keynote where you sit back and listen. You’ll be expected to share your knowledge and experience in the group discussion.
The discussion groups will wrap up at 8pm, however there’s always an opportunity to mingle afterwards. If you’ve felt inspired by the evening then we encourage you to consider leading a group in the future.
All applicants are vetted for product experience via LinkedIn. Once approved, you will receive invites to future events.
ProductTO's purpose is to grow Toronto's local community of product people. Product managers so rarely get to talk about our work outside the context of our explicit product. This forum provides an opportunity to tackle our unique challenges from the context of different products, markets, and organizations.
ProductTO was founded in 2013 by Henry Dillon and is currently currently curated and organized by May Wong. In September 2025, ProductTO joined the TPMA as one of the association's signature event series.

There are no other spaces exclusively for experienced product managers and product leaders. In order to promote better conversations and to keep up with the demand for curated spaces in the city, we must restrict attendance to those with experience.
The TPMA and other product organizations host many events annually for those looking to get into product. Keep an eye out for events listed here.
We don't have a public calendar. ProductTO is usually on the 4th Thursday of the month. The best way to keep up to date on upcoming events is to be on our mailing list when you apply to join.
We try to get through new applications once a month, however we're also a volunteer team with other jobs and commitments. Do feel free to get in touch with us here if you’d like an update.
ProductTO doesn’t have a specific Slack group however we do have a channel inside the Toronto Product Management Association Slack group as a way of continuing the conversation outside our events.
