Teresa Torres publishes a running list of product, UX, and product-management conferences planned for 2020, organized by month with dates, names, and locations. The list is explicitly non-exhaustive and invites readers to suggest missing events. Many entries carry postponed, canceled, or virtual status notes, reflecting the disruption to in-person events at the time of the update. The post is a directory rather than an argument, but it helps practitioners plan professional development and find community events across regions.
01Key takeaways
- Check each conference's status before booking, since many listed events were postponed, canceled, or moved online.
- Look beyond product-only events; UX, design, agile, and growth conferences often cover overlapping craft topics.
- Use the list as a starting point and submit missing events so the directory stays useful to the community.
- Plan a mix of regional and virtual events to keep access affordable and diversify perspectives.
02Key sections

- Monthly event calendar
- Events are grouped by month with dates, names, and locations spanning product management, UX, design, agile, and growth topics across many countries. Several entries are marked as postponed, canceled, or moved online.
- Status changes and virtual shifts
- A notable share of listings are labeled canceled, postponed, or virtual, showing how the event calendar was being reshaped at the time. Readers are pointed to check status before making plans.
