Human in the Loop

AI is not the threat. Isolation is. Welcome to Human in the Loop.

Conferences end on Sunday. Your questions don't.

Every Future Product Days closes the same way: 2-3 days of inspiration, a notebook full of ideas, a stack of new LinkedIn connections — and then, silence. A couple of likes. The ideas cool off. The people scatter.

That gap is exactly what we built Human in the Loop for: a year-round community for people who build products for a living — designers, PMs, and engineers who'd rather shape the industry than be shaped by it.

Not another feed

We love LinkedIn for what it is. But it's a stage, and everyone on it is performing. Human in the Loop is the opposite: a room, not a stage. A place to share what's actually working, what's broken in your process, and the problem you're stuck on — openly and honestly, without polishing it into a personal-brand post first.

No performative takes. No AI slop. Just real conversations between people figuring out the same things you are.

Built around the conference — and beyond it

The community and our events are two halves of one loop.

  • Before the conference, you meet the people you'll run into there. Intro threads by role, city, and focus area. Travel and hotel coordination. Meetings scheduled weeks ahead, so you arrive with people, not just a ticket.
  • During, familiar faces in every break, sessions attended together, dinner plans that actually happen.
  • After, the connections you made don't evaporate. The discussions continue, learnings get shared, and ideas from the stage become work that ships.

A curated program, all year

Between conferences, we run a steady rhythm of live sessions and webinars: talks and workshops with speakers from the FPD stage and beyond, where you can learn something new — or bring your own project and put it up for discussion. Alongside those, open sessions with open topics, where you simply show up and meet the room. Small groups, real Q&A, nothing passive.

Free — and early birds get more

Everything in the community is free right now: every session, every webinar, all of it. Down the road we'll add a premium tier with access to deeper, more intensive live formats.

Here's the part worth acting on: everyone who joins at this early stage gets the premium tier included for an extended period. Joining now isn't just early access — it's the best deal this community will ever offer.

Come in, even if you just want to listen

You don't need an FPD ticket, and you don't need to commit to anything. Join, read along, stay quiet if you like. The loop grows with its members — your questions and threads set the next direction – see you inside the loop.
