What is ProductCamp?

ProductCamp SoCal is a free, user-driven, collaborative “unconference” for product managers and marketers in Southern California. A one-day gathering of product folks to share, present, network, learn and discuss.

What's Great About ProductCamp?

Put simply, ProductCamp is a bunch of smart, passionate people coming together to learn from, share with, and connect with professionals involved in product management, marketing and development throughout Southern California, and visitors from around the world. At ProductCamp everyone participates: by presenting, engaging in discussions or volunteering to help with logistics.

Everyone interested in improving their ability to conceive, build, manage, and market brands or products is welcome. Everyone brings different experiences and leveraging that collective knowledge is what makes ProductCamp special - and something you can't get from any other gathering.

ProductCamp Is:

Grassroots organization - Your participation will make or break the event!
Highly engaged & creative exchange increasing each individual’s skills & knowledge.
Building and strengthening professional relationships while having a whole lot of fun.

ProductCamp Isn't:

A pre-determined set of speakers and topics.
Polite attention & passivity in sessions nor does sole responsibility rest with presenters for successful sessions.
Networking only at formal icebreakers and scheduled breaks.

Learn

Discover best practices from many industries on state-of-the-art ways to build world-class products.

Exchange knowledge and insights with fellow Brand, Marketing, and Product professionals.

Connect

Meet with fellow thought leaders for ideas and solutions to your daily challenges.

What Others Say About ProductCamp SoCal

"I found the Orange County folks extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though I was only there for one day, the community was so welcoming, that I still get warm feelings thinking of the people I met... I felt very at home, made some great connections, and would love to see everyone again next year. And afterall, who can say no to that California sunshine?"

"About a year and a half ago, I was fired and ended up being unemployed. I decided I needed to go to a meeting of your group. It turned out that this was the week of your first ProductCamp. I went, and I loved it. A lightbulb went on in my head and I saw that I should be participating in the product management community to not only find a job, but to grow in my skills."

- Jeremy Gorr

"Thank you to all the creative, generous, and hard-working souls and sponsoring organizations who gave time, talent, materials, refreshments, and facilities to enable us attendees to enjoy such a fun and fulfilling day. This was very well done, from promotion to execution and follow-up. I gathered great ideas for next steps in my skills and career development that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. And I loved the price!"
