ProductCamp: A collaborative unconference about Product Marketing and Management 

THANK YOU to everyone who helped us plan, execute, and participated in ProductCamp Austin Winter 2009!  It was an amazing day of teaching, learning, and networking with great people from all over the U.S., as far away as San Diego!  We will post notes, slide decks, and even video over the coming weeks, and you can return to this page to find them.

If you would like to help us plan ProductCamp Austin Summer 2009, please join the planning team at the PCA Planning Group. 

What is ProductCamp??? 

ProductCamp is a collaborative, user organized unconference, focused on Product Marketing and Management topics. At ProductCamp everyone participates: by presenting, leading a roundtable discussion, helping with logistics, securing sponsorship, or volunteering. ProductCamp is a great opportunity for you to learn from, teach to, and network with professionals involved in the Product Management, Marketing, and Development process from the Austin area!  The first ProductCamp Austin had over 130 people sign up, and over 90 participate.  Inspired by Austin's great participation, the ProductCamp concept has swept to other cities such as Toronto and Boston! 

Put simply: ProductCamp is a bunch of smart, passionate people coming together to discuss, debate, and collaborate on the issues they face every day.  Everyone is welcome: in June we had product managers, product marketers, marketing managers, developers, project managers, operations leads, lawyers, HR reps, directors and VP's of marketing and product management, and consultants.  Everyone brings different experiences and leveraging that collective knowledge is what makes ProductCamp special - and something you can't get anywhere else. 

ProductCamp Austin is FREE - go register and invite others.
