P-Camp: An Agile Silicon Valley Product Management Unconference

March 15, 2008

 

This one time at P-Camp...

 

We had more than 170 people joining us for this free Saturday event, and an additional 120 who responded but were not able to join us live. That’s larger than the first Agile Development Conference! (We know, because Luke helped organize that shindig.) Participants proposed their own topics, ran discussions and panels, and networked with peers. This was so much fun that we’re already thinking about how to size this up for 2009.

 

To make sure you hear about P-Camp '09, add yourself to the Product Bytes list.

 

Check out a short video on YouTube!

 

Please add/edit below, which will also be transferred to the Enthiosys site for broader visibility.
