Below is a list of the Sessions that Participants such as yourself have offered to lead. This does not necessarily mean that we'll do these at the event; instead, Proposed Sessions will be voted on by ProductCamp participants, with the most popular sessions getting on the schedule.

 

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 sessions that were offered at ProductCamps in Silicon Valley and Austin.
