You can go over there right now and take a look at the proposed topics, comment on them and vote for your favorites. It's also not too late to offer your own session! Just post your idea and see what the crowd thinks!

In the spirit of BarCamp (www.barcamp.org), ProductCampAtlanta is a collaborative, user organized professional conference, focused on Product Management and Marketing topics. At ProductCampAtlanta everyone participates in some manner: presenting, leading a discussion, showcasing a best practice, or sharing their experiences. Others help with logistics, securing sponsorships, organizing sessions, or settng up/cleaning up. This is a self organizing collaborative event that is designed be a fun, rewarding and a unique experience.
ProductCampAtlanta is a great opportunity for participants to learn from, teach to, and network with professionals involved in the Product Management, Marketing, and Development process from the Atlanta area!
Although this event is free for attendees, we are supplying plenty of food, paying for facilities, and other stuff. We need some money. Hey, nothing is completely free. We have two sponsorship levels. Please help! Send email to info@pcampatl.com to learn more
Rather than having pre-scheduled speakers, everyone who is interested in leading a session provides a brief (that's about a minute) pitch in the morning before we start. Attendees then vote and those sessions receiving the highest votes are put on the schedule and groups form for intense learning. Click here to propose a session or topic and view topics that will be held during ProductCamp Atlanta. Similar to other Product Camps, we are looking for a variety of sessions - roundtables, workshops, and panel discussions are welcome! So share a best practice, talk about how a particular methodology works in the real world, or present and discuss a hot topic on the minds of product managers and marketers. Upload your session or an introduction to your session. Attendees can then view what your session is about prior to the event and your chances increase for being selected!
Participate in ProductCamp Atlanta!
