As we approach another inspiring Product Camp Amsterdam, we're thrilled to share the essence of our event: the Sessions. Rooted in the unconference tradition, these sessions are the beating heart of our collaborative learning experience.

‍

The Power of Peer-to-Peer Learning

At Product Camp Amsterdam, we believe in the collective wisdom of our community. Unlike traditional conferences, we tap into the diverse knowledge and experiences of every participant. Our unconference motto says it all: there are no attendees, only contributors!

Here's what makes our sessions unique:

• They last about 1 hour, perfect for deep dives and spirited discussions
• Expertise is welcome, but passion is the real prerequisite
• Brief introductions spark rich, participant-driven dialogues

‍

Diverse Session Format: : Choose Your Style

We offer a variety of session formats, each designed to maximize engagement and knowledge sharing:

• Storytelling: Perfect for sharing experiences or case studies. Present your narrative in 10 minutes or less, then open the floor for discussion.
• Birds of a Feather: Ideal for those who want to explore a topic without a structured agenda. Find your flock and dive into spontaneous, interest-driven conversations.
• Presentation + Participation: Blend a brief presentation with interactive elements. This format can range from simple Q&A to fully collaborative exercises.
• Knowledge Café: A facilitator introduces a topic and poses 1-2 key questions. Participants break into smaller groups for focused discussions before reconvening to share insights.
• Show & Tell: Demonstrate tools, processes, or methodologies you use. Invite feedback and brainstorm improvements with your peers.

Each format is designed to maximize engagement and embody the participatory nature of our unconference.

You Are the Architect of Product Camp

By leading a session, you'll not only contribute to the community but also:

• Address topics that are relevant to you and your peers.
• Refine ideas through valuable peer feedback.
• Expand your professional network.
• Enhance your presentation and facilitation skills.
• Shape the collective knowledge of our product management community.

Remember, at Product Camp, every voice has the potential to spark the next big innovation.

Call to Action: Host a Session!

If you have a compelling idea for discussion, expertise to share, or an interesting story to tell, we urge you to host a Session. Here's how to prepare:

1. Craft a 2-minute pitch for the plenary morning session.
2. Prepare a 5-minute introduction to your topic, leaving ample time for participant discussion.
3. On the day itself, everyone pitches their session and casts their votes for the ones they’d like to attend. The most voted ones will be held throughout the rest of the day.

First-time presenters, don't hesitate! Your fresh perspective is exactly what makes Product Camp unique. The voting process ensures that the topics most relevant to our community rise to the top, truly embodying the participant-driven nature of our event
