Thrilled to have attended PLGTM 2024, a much needed event that brought all the folks who sort of know each other in the PLG space under one roof. It was wonderful to meet with familiar faces and make new connections. Here are some of my key takeaways: 1. AI for PLG was a hot topic, and no one was more insightful about staying at the cutting edge of innovation than Marcel Santilli at Deepgram. His perspective is a must follow for anyone in the PLG space. 2. The importance of instrumentation was highlighted in a great talk by Sarah Krasnik Bedell from Prefect who did an excellent job balancing the technical details. 3. Dani Grant of Jam.dev provided a counterpoint, emphasizing the criticality of brand in PLG - something that's easy to say but hard to execute effectively. 4. Finally, Tido Carriero and the folks at Koala are pioneering a new approach to monetizing inbound leads, which appears to be highly effective.

Great to meet in person Arjun and appreciate the kind words.
Nice, thanks for sharing your insights.
Sounds like an amazing conference Arjun Saksena! PLG is poised as AI floods outbound channels with noise. The biggest challenge I've seen is converting free users to paid. The barrier into the free account is so low, I think many companies take it as a more serious signal of product interest than it really is.
nice
Great meet up with you. Glad you liked the event!
