Proposed Sessions
ProductCamp only works if you get involved - that means speaking or leading a roundtable. Add your proposed session here with your name in ()'s so we know who you are! Proposed sessions will be voted on by the ProductCamp participants with the most popular sessions getting best scheduling. If you can't think of a session to lead, check out the section below called "Topics I would like to hear about" for ideas, or check out some of the really cool sessions offered by people just like you at P-Camp Silicon Valley back in March.

Topics I would like to hear about
These are topics you would like to hear about. Edit this page (see button at the top) and add your own. Also, these are the perfect opportunity for a ProductCamp participant (you!) to speak about a topic you know about and teach the rest of us. ProductCamp is an unconference, so there will be a lot of 1st time speakers - just do it! When you decide to take on one of these topics, move it to the proposed sessions section above and put your name on it!
