What's a pre-submitted session?

So you've pre-submitted a session on our site here.  Great! Now what? 

1. When you arrive at the start of ProductCamp, your pre-submitted session will already be displayed in the voting area. 
2. Each attendee will have the opportunity to vote for their top 3 sessions. 
3. After the first morning keynote, we will announce which sessions have been chosen by the attendees and are a part of this year's schedule. (The schedule is not finalized until the morning of PCamp, that's why it's an unconference!) 
​4. If your session is chosen you should come to the "Speaker Session Area" so we can let you know which room your session will be held in!

Those awesome folks are ProductCamp volunteers!  If you have a question or concern, just track down one of our many volunteers and we will help you throughout the day!

The Law of the Two Feet:

Anyone finds her or himself in a situation where they are neither learning nor contributing, they can use their two feet to go to a more productive place. This law is important as it emphasizes that every participant is present voluntarily.

Where is the career fair?

The Career Fair is in the Sponsor area on the main floor before the cafeteria.  All companies participating in the Career Fair will be marked with a balloon indicating that they are currently hiring. If you opted to share your information with them in the registration form it will be shared with them.
