4 Reasons to Love ProductCamp!

I was recently asked to write this blog post on 'why I love ProductCamp'. The request itself speaks to one of the things I love about ProductCamp, namely the chance to work with 'product people'. The request came from the ProductCamp Seattle Marketing Team volunteers in charge of the social media campaign. Let's start with that.ProductCamp is an unconference, like…See More
