ProductCamp Austin Summer 201
Saturday, August 07, 2010 from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM (CT)
ProductCamp Austin Planning is amping up for the 5th ProductCamp Austin – have you signed up yet? Here’s where you can go to do that:
Paul Young and Elizabeth Quintanilla want to this to be the biggest and best product camp ever held on the planet. They can only acheive that if you sign up and come. Do it now!
Elizabeth Q is talking to David Neff about possibly better integrating or even combining ProductCamp with VideoCamp which are both being held on the same day in near proximity at UT. I posed this question to Elizabeth today on her Facebook Wall. VideoCamp is being held at the LBJ School of Public Policy across campus from the AT&T Conference Center where ProductCamp is being held.
The first ProductPotluck Austin - a series of collaborative “unconference” meetings focused on Marketing, Product Marketing, and Product Management topics was held at the AT&T Conference Center at the University of Texas campus on Weds, Oct 21st. It was put on by Elizabeth Quintanilla and the team responsible for organizing ProductCamp Austin, ProductPotluck is a smaller format series of events that occur between ProductCamps. ProductPotluck was an evening of teaching, learning, and networking with professionals from the Austin area.
The two topic areas for the October 21st meeting were “Marketing” and “Product Strategy”. Spring Blog made a video of the “404 session” with Alex @baldman Jones (who starred in our “Tech Guy and the Asshole” video), Amanda @shoogie McGuckin Hager (pictured), Jason @clutchcreative Sugawa, and Jonathan @j_gesinger Gesinger. The panel talked about creative ways of using normally neglected areas of your website to greater advantage, like captcha pages, “404″ error pages, bio pages, and contact forms.
Over the next few weeks you will be able to submit presentations or roundtable sessions to Elizabeth and the ProductCamp folks, and vote on the sessions you most want to hear. “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”, according the Product Camp website.
