Welcome to October's edition of Product-Led Post. The nights may be drawing in, but it's still all hands on deck here at PLA.
We're busy gearing up for a jam-packed calendar, with our fully-virtual CPO Summit on November 11, as well as two London events, happening live and in-person on November 26.
So whilst we squirrel away behind the scenes (excuse the Autumn-themed pun), catch up on all the best content from this month.
Until next time.
