Lenny Summit postmortem: 1,000 PMs, and the lonelier agent work gets, the stronger the pull of IRL events
lennysan · x · 2026-09-30
Lenny Rachitsky reflects on his Lenny & Friends Summit, which drew 1,000+ product managers. His key takeaway: there's massive unmet demand for curated in-person events—working with agents makes work lonelier, raising the appetite for IRL community. He credits Stripe's events and design teams for executing the whole summit, calling the company exceptionally talent-dense (it's his most frequent podcast guest source). All main-stage talks are available as a YouTube playlist.
