Are you designing Products That Truly Meet Customer Needs? | ADPList Chicago

​Join us for an exciting evening at the Microsoft Chicago office as we unpack what it really means to design products that meet actual customer needs—not just boost vanity metrics.

​In this dynamic panel discussion, leaders from Askable, United Airlines, and more will share hard-won insights about designing with purpose. We’ll explore how deep user research, business alignment, and strategic prioritization can elevate your product from good to game-changing.

​Whether you're a designer, researcher, product manager—or simply passionate about creating impact through design—this conversation is for you.

​✨ Event Highlights

🔹 A panel of experts from Askable, United Airlines, and other industry leaders
🔹 Real-world stories on how teams uncover meaningful customer insights
🔹 Honest reflections on metrics that matter (and ones that don’t)
🔹 Actionable advice for aligning product decisions with business outcomes
🔹 Open Q&A and community networking over food & drinks

​This is more than a panel—it’s a conversation about building products that make a difference.
