About
SVPMA
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 it out.
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.
SVPMA is a grass-roots
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.
Mission
Our
mission is
to provide Product Management professionals with networking, training
and career acceleration opportunities. Through
monthly speaker meetings, quarterly workshops and quarterly networking
and social events, SVPMA helps Product Management professionals
to be more effective in both day-to-day work as well as managing
their overall careers.
