The AIPMM Sponsors ProductCamp Seattle 2012

Oct. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Reno, Nevada - ProductCamps are a worldwide movement of innovative, user-generated "unconferences" that offer the latest strategies and tactics to teach companies how to develop, manage, and position their products to win in the marketplace. ProductCamp Seattle takes place on Saturday November 3rd 2012.  It is a participant-driven, collaborative conference on topics related to Product Management, Product Strategy, and Product Marketing. All participants come prepared to present a topic or run a group discussion. On the day of ProductCamp, all attendees cast their votes for sessions and presentations they’d like to attend. Most popular wins – sessions with the most votes will be presented throughout the rest of the day.

Paula Gray, Anthropologist, is looking forward to ProductCamp Seattle. "I'm proposing a session, Anthropology for Product Management: How can an anthropologist help me build and sell better products?"
