Bilal Khan is an experienced Product Manager, Technical Manager and Co-Founder. He was the ex Product Manager at now failed social networking app Fling. Fling had massive initial success, but had to reinvent itself, after being temporarily suspended from the App Store. Bilal was responsible for running a team of 50 developers at Fling App and worked tirelessly for 19 days to manage the product changes needed to get Fling back in the App Store. Bilal is keen to pass on the knowledge and experience he has gained from this situation, to talk about managing product development when faced with an unexpected business change.

He is therefore perfectly placed to speak about:
✓ The best ways to approach a mobile app redesign.
✓ Managing developers on a multifaceted product development project.
✓ When the worst happens - how to get your app back on the App Store.
✓ Lessons learnt from his experience at Fling.
Expect a personal account of the story of Fling, with specific focus on the 19 days that the development team spent working redesigning the app.
