What is ProductTank
Belfast?

ProductTank Belfast is part of the global Mind the
Product movement. Mind the Product Started in 2010
with the very first ProductTank meetup in London,
followed by the Mind the Product in 2012. It has now
scaled to over 100,000 members and sold out events in
140+ cities around the world.
ProductTankBelfast is a community of over 700 people.
We aim to run focused events and socials for Product
people in Belfast on a regular basis.
