RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pendo, the all-in-one product experience platform, today closed out its eighth annual Pendomonium product festival, gathering a record crowd of 2,000 product and digital leaders to explore the intersection of AI in today's software products.

From the main stage, Pendo executives also announced a series of new products and features that enhance the Pendo One platform, along with the company's acquisition of Product Collective, a community serving product and digital teams and producer of popular events like INDUSTRY and the New York Product Conference.

"While we continue to add exciting new capabilities to the Pendo One platform, Pendo is more than just software," said Todd Olson, CEO and co-founder of Pendo. "As product and digital teams grow in influence and responsibility in today's organizations in the age of AI - it's critical for them to learn from each other, share best practices and build relationships. Through Pendomonium, Mind the Product, and now Product Collective, we're thrilled to convene the product community for years to come."

New products and features in the Pendo One platform equip product teams to provide personalized product experiences to their users, both efficiently and at scale. New capabilities include:
