This day was started by Mind the Product. They aim to help raise awareness of how product management impacts the global economy. It brings together those who work in product management, from the designers and developers to the manufacturers and sellers of those products.
Take time to learn more about how your business and other businesses affect the economy on a daily basis and understand what it means to be an active member of the global economy. Attend a hosted event near you at one of the informal meetups taking place in over 140 cities worldwide.
Even if you are not in the business of making and distributing products, there is so much that can be learned about it. Have fun learning how products you use are made, learn about distribution, and find out about the inspiration behind some of your favorite products.
