During the one-day professional conference IT Meets: Product, the Lviv IT Cluster’s team introduced a brand-new Product Community. This community aims to unite a wide range of product development professionals in one place for networking, creating new projects, exchanging experiences, and providing mutual assistance.
The idea to create a product community emerged last year in response to numerous requests from members of the Lviv IT Cluster. It has been successfully implemented.
“The Product Community is a significant initiative that will contribute to the development of the product direction in the Ukrainian tech industry and address the gap in the need for communication and experience exchange among specialists. Already, the community brings together product managers, designers, marketers, and other talents, facilitating knowledge exchange. Participants can view their cases differently and receive feedback or consultation. This community not only fosters personal growth but also contributes to the establishment of industry standards and influences the overall development of the product industry. With the active participation and interaction of professionals, synergy occurs, fostering innovation and inspiration,” says Natalia Sambir, Co-founder and Design Director of Linkup Studio.
By joining the Product Community, specialists will gain insight into navigating changes. It’s an opportunity to share achievements and look into the future for:
“The recent launch of the Product Community at the IT Meets conference was a key step in developing collaboration and innovation in the tech industry. As a product manager, I consider this community an important place for exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and learning about the latest trends shaping our industry. By joining it, we contribute to personal development and collective progress in product management practices. This community is ideal for those who strive to be at the forefront of technologies and business strategies, as it provides a unique opportunity for networking, learning, and collaborating with colleagues. I sincerely urge tech professionals to become part of this vibrant community of Ukrainian talents to enrich our profession, contribute to developing progressive solutions in the world of technology, and build successful digital products,” says Iryna Lyubinets, Chief Product Management Officer at Linkup Studio.
Community members can join webinars, informal meetings, and workshops. They also receive discounts at Lviv IT Cluster events and can initiate meetings, discussions, or requests themselves, whether they are searching for partners, contractors, or freelancers. The community always shares contacts and recommends verified sources, significantly reducing the time spent searching for professionals and the risk of collaborating with unreliable partners.
“Lviv has long needed the revival of a product community. It’s cool that the Lviv IT Cluster has driven this and launched a new one. Collaboration is always easier together, and communities like these are about sharing experiences, failures, and successes. I’m glad to be part of your community, and I hope to see many familiar and new faces,” says Yaroslav Nazar, Product Manager, Head of Development at Fishka Loyalty.
All community members join a specialized chat. For convenience, it is divided into separate branches:
“One of the greatest benefits of this community is that it’s essentially a living community of professionals who are truly passionate about their work. Here, you can always get unbiased advice to ease your professional life significantly. Or help colleagues avoid unnecessary mistakes or share your own insights. The space of product design is growing so rapidly and dynamically that participation in such a community is more of a necessity than just a common opportunity,” says Max Helevera, Product Designer/Competence Lead at Qubstudio.
