October 4th is Approaching Fast!

Hey folks, we admit it’s been a bit quiet over the past month or so. This summer thing got in the way a bit and seems like things are busier this year in our “day jobs”. BUT, things are starting to heat up and we’re committed to ProductCamp Toronto being a great experience for us all.

Here’s what we’ve been up to. We have more people involved this year in helping! This is awesome! Folks are helping us with getting the venue ready, finding sponsors (know of any?), getting the word out through blog posts, tweeting etc. Thx.

I’ve asked the organizing team to leave a comment below that:

• Introduces themselves.
• Tells you what area they are leading in.
• Where they need help!

Some other really important things for you to know:

• You can register for ProductCamp Toronto here.
• You can submit a session topic, vote and comment on others here

Here’s something to get you going! A recent Globe and Mail article by Konrad Yakabuski is enough to stir some debate and conversation. Is there an innovation gap in Canada? Aren’t the products and services we bring to market innovative? Are our methods of developing products and satisfying the needs of our customers innovative? Let the debate begin. (By the way, we invited Konrad to come to ProductCamp Toronto, he loves the idea of PCT but can’t make it).

Pub Night!

We’d like to have another Pub Night!

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!

Date and Venue

Hey Everyone!

We are pleased to announce that this year’s ProductCamp will take place on Sunday, October 4th at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University!

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!

Introducing ProductCamp Toronto 2009!

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.
