Proposed Sessions

ProductCamp only works if you get involved - that means speaking or leading a roundtable. Add your proposed session here with your name in ()'s so we know who you are! Proposed sessions will be voted on by the ProductCamp participants with the most popular sessions getting best scheduling. If you can't think of a session to lead, check out the section below called "Topics I would like to hear about" for ideas, or check out some of the really cool sessions offered by people just like you at P-Camp Silicon Valley back in March.
