The first ProductCamp (aka P-CAMP) was held on March 15, 2008 in Mountain View, California. Word-of-mouth spread fast about this “un-conference” (no registration fee, no agenda, no selling) and about 170 people showed up on a Saturday to discuss topics of interest to product managers, product marketers and a host of related roles.
Following this event, many participants commented via blogs, wikis, and tweets. The idea went viral, and several other cities started ProductCamps of their own. ProductCampRTP’s biggest event is in April featuring an all-day un-conference.
Our very own Cef Gonzalez is the president of ProductCampRTP and was in charge of seeing this event created and run! He had a huge year, with many professionals in the area coming out to spend a Saturday working on product and marketing innovation and listening to VP and GM of Lenovo eCommerce, Ajit Sivadasan give a great Keynote and 12 other speakers.
