At ProductCamp Toronto 2009, the talented Donna Papacosta of Trafalgar Communications recorded a series of interviews with various attendees and organizers. Here they are:
As part of our market research, we would like to hear more about what you liked, what you didn’t like, and what we need to do better for next event. So, please, fill out our survey!
By the way, we heard you loud and clear that having an event the day after the all-night Nuit Blanche is probably not a good idea. Consider it on the roadmap for the next release! Read the rest of this entry »
If you took photos at ProductCamp Toronto 2009, we would love it if you could share your photos with us!
We’ve setup a “pool” on flickr where anybody can contribute their photos, which you can get to by clicking here. (Below you can see a slideshow of photos in this pool.)
If you prefer, if you could tag your photos with pct2 and/or productcamptoronto, we’ll be able to find them.
As organizers of one many ProductCamps going on around the world, one of our goals is to start great conversations about product management and marketing; we shouldn’t wait until the next ProductCamp to carry on the discussion!
To this end, we attempted to enlist several note-takers to write stuff down (you know who you are… thank you!).
If you were taking notes — or want to see what you missed in other sessions — you can browse and contribute to the PCT2009 Event Wiki. Leave a comment below if you’re not sure how the whole wiki thing works; we’ll also accept notes via email.
(If you’re curious, you can also see what we talked about last year).
First off, thanks to all who attended the Pub Night on Wednesday!
During the evening, we threw up a big ol’ pad of paper and encouraged everybody to write down some ideas for possible discussion topics at the main event.
I think we successfully proved that apparently, it is possible to think intelligently about product management while under the influence of alcohol.
We really want to have a great event in the Fall, and thought that bringing some of you together would help kick things off. All you have to do is enjoy a beverage or two at our Pub Night next Wednesday, July 22nd, 6:00 PM, at Fionn MacCools, at 70 The Esplanade
Bring with you your ideas for sessions — either ones for those that you would like to lead, or would like to attend — and suggestions on improvements from last year’s ProductCamp. This will also be a great chance to network a little in the Summer, and have some fun!
A big thank you to Lea Sawal at Ryerson and everybody else for providing this great venue for the event. The setting worked out great for us last year, and I think we’ve got some ideas to make it even better this year!
Planning is already underway for ProductCamp Toronto 2009!
If you missed last year’s event, ProductCamp Toronto is a collaborative, user-organized unconference, focused on software product marketing and product management. At ProductCamp there are no “attendees,” since everyone participates in some manner: This means you get to present, lead a roundtable discussion, share your experiences, help with logistics, help secure sponsorships, or volunteer. ProductCamp is a great opportunity for you to learn from, teach to, and network with professionals involved in Product Management, Marketing, and Development, in Toronto and the surrounding areas.
