ProductCamp: A collaborative unconference about Product Marketing and Management
In the spirit of BarCamp, ProductCamp is a collaborative, user organized event. The original BarCamps were centered around developers, whereas our ProductCamp will be around Product Marketing and Management topics. The spirit of ProductCamp is that there are no "attendees," since everyone who comes participates in some manner: either presenting, leading a roundtable discussion, helping with logistics, securing sponsorship, setting up wifi, supplying food, etc.
