ProductCamp is Austin's premiere event for Product Management, Product Marketing, and Marketing professionals to teach to, learn from, and network with each other. Past ProductCamps have attracted hundreds of professionals from all over Texas and the U.S.
 
This year we will be holding not one but two ProductCamp Austin events! ProductCamp Austin Spring 2010, on March 27th, will be Austin's 4th ProductCamp.   PCA Fall 2010 will be held on August 7th.

ProductCamp Austin presents the second ProductParty Austin - a networking happy-hour for Austin Product Management and Marketing professionals that brings together People, Products, and Pitchers!

Join us on Wednesday, February 24th from 6-9pm in Gabriel's Cafe at the AT&T Conference Center on the University of Texas campus.
The evening will also include the first opportunity for you to pitch your proposed session for the upcoming March 27th ProductCamp.

It's time for the second ProductPotluck Austin meeting! Brought to you by the team responsible for organizing ProductCamp Austin, ProductPotluck is a smaller format series of events focused on Marketing, Product Marketing, and Product Management topics that occur between ProductCamps.
ProductPotluck is an evening of teaching, learning, and networking with professionals from the Austin area. BRING IDEAS, NOT FOOD!
Join your peers on Wednesday, January 20 from 5:30pm - 9:00 PM to experience ProductPotluck, which as an unconference is FREE! Your only cost is your participation - bring your ideas, lead a session in your area of expertise, facilitate a roundtable discussion, network, or volunteer. The meeting will be held at the beautiful AT&T Conference Center on the University of Texas campus.
ProductPotluck is your chance to share knowledge on any product management or marketing topic with your peers in the Austin community! Please submit your session ideas to Tom Evans at tevans@lucrum-marketing.com ASAP, no later than Friday the 15th! This is an excellent way to demonstrate your leadership, practice your presentation skills, and have fun in a no-pressure environment of friends. Traditional presentations, facilitated roundtables, workshops, and other creative ideas are encouraged. In ProductCamp style, the participants will vote on the offered sessions and pick two from the field to make the cut on the 20th.
Please email us with your session idea by Friday Jan 15. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
If you have a killer idea or case study you want to share with the group, start getting it ready! In true ProductCamp spirit, the participants will determine which sessions end up being presented by voting during the Sign-In/Networking portion of the event.
Agenda:
* Sign-In and Networking: 5:30-6:30pm
* Two Sessions (in parallel): 6:45-8:00pm
* Networking: 8:00pm - ??
In this economic climate, networking is critical. ProductPotluck and ProductCamp bring out the best and the brightest professionals in the Austin area in a collaborative environment. Plan on bringing a stack of business cards and making connections!

At ProductParty everyone participates through networking, volunteering, or participating as a “Product Manager SmackDown” contestant.
