What is a ProductCamp?ProductCamps are designed to be an “unconferences” (no registration fee, no agenda, no selling) focused on Product Management topics where everyone who attends actively participates in some manner: presenting, leading a discussion, showcasing a best practice or sharing their experiences. Others might help with logistics, securing partnerships, organizing sessions or with set up and cleanup. A ProductCamp is a self-organizing, collaborative event that is designed to be fun, rewarding and a unique experience.
ProductCamps are based upon the BarCamp model. The first ProductCamp was held on March 15, 2008 in Mountain View, California. Word-of-mouth spread fast about this unconference and about 170 people showed up on a Saturday to discuss topics of interest to product managers, product marketers and a host of related roles. Portland joins a growing list of ProductCamp host cities worldwide including: Amsterdam, Atlanta, Austin, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, Melbourne, St. Paul (Minnesota), Montreal, New York City, Pune (India), Raleigh-Durham, Rocky Mountain (Denver, Colorado), Seattle, Silicon Valley (San Francisco Bay Area), South California (Irvine), Toronto, Vancouver and Washington DC.
