| About Us:
The Silicon Valley Product Management Association (SVPMA)
is an organization that was founded to address the needs
of Product Managers, Product Marketing Managers and
other professionals working within the Product Management
field.
How it all got started is a long but interesting story.
If you want to hear all the gory details, check

The goal of SVPMA
is to provide a forum for education, networking and
community amongst those who work in product management.
That includes, but is not limited to Product Managers,
Product Marketing Managers, Marketing Managers, Directors
of Product Management, and VPs of Product Management.
We meet every month with speakers, panels or presentations
that focus on day-to-day issues, career development,
emerging trends or any other issues that strike our
fancy.

organization, which means members of our group are responsible
for planning events, communicating with other members,
staffing events, fundraising and finding space to hold
our meetings.
