ProductCamp Toronto (Oct '09)

 

Last weekend I attended ProductCamp Toronto. As a first timer, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I am delighted to report it was both a great day and event (aside from my travel interruptions courtesy of AC). The event organizers deserve a lot of credit. The facilities, food and refreshments were great. Lee Garrison, Chris Gurney, Chris Herbert, Saeed Khan, Siobhan Mclaughlin, Lea Sawal deserve to be called out.

It was also an event that Quantum Whisper had the privilege on sponsoring. The event had many great sponsors --- and fortunately, still managed to avoid becoming too commercial. In addition to sponsoring ProductCamp, Quantum Whisper also provided a door prize ($100 Amazon gift certificate). Congratulations to Jackie Serviss! Enjoy your shopping!

If you are contemplating attending a ProductCamp in your area --- I urge you to get involved. As a product management professional, it was an exceptional opportunity to mingle with colleagues, network and learn from the tremendous product management talent and experience at the event. Industry gurus attending included Steve Johnson of Pragmatic Marketing, Stewart Rogers from Ryma Technologies (and the strategicproductmanager.com) and Saeed Khan from onproductmangement.net.

Most of the day was spent in various sessions where participants exchanged product management best practices, ideas and experiences. I facilitated a discussion on product management tools. The event schedule is below complete with session notes. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Looking forward to my next ProductCamp --- maybe Boston?
