We’re about 6 weeks away from Saturday, August 16th – Product Camp!!!

We’ll be kicking off at 9am sharp for a full day of activities, learning, food and fun. Plus an after party once we wrap up around 4:30pm. See the Camp website for pix from previous years & additional info.

Product Camp is run as an ‘unconference’ which means the majority of the talks are voted on by the attendees. We have a pitch session in the morning & then everyone gets to vote.

Want to give a talk or lead a discussion? Get your ideas in early so we can promote you on the website & socials! More info here: https://bit.ly/pcamptalks2025

RSVP For Thursday July 10th

Once a year we do a set of short talks ie “lightning talk” style, where you learn a lot in a short time and a bit of variety on the topic from each speaker.

Come along for these great talks and support our 4 wonderful speakers (bios below):

Hello From the Other Side – Ana Rowe – Product Managers often say the C level just doesn’t understand. What does it look like when you reach the level and the tables are turned? What does the C level want to see from product? Ana has moved from Product to COO & is here to give us the low down.

My Product Companion – Zain Franciscus – After experimenting with various ai tools to help simplify his work, Zain will share how he’s using several small Ai assistants via Relevance Ai and demo how they function. Will they ever replace his role? You’ll find out in this talk.

Taste, Trust and Craft – Jithesh Ramesh – Part of raising children is embedding morals and values so they are good humans who add value to society. How are we making the world better with Ai and the tools at our disposal?

Top (Recent) Lessons – Roanna Gunaratnam – PMs have to keep learning!

This is a self-funded event – no sponsor for this one. However, we’re in our own room upstairs at the Imperial Hotel. You’ll be able to buy your own food and drink at the venue & the room has it’s own bar.

Ana Rowe:
Ana has been a leader and passionate advocate in the product management industry for over 20 years. She began her product career at SEEK during its start-up days and has since shaped product strategy at organisations like REA, A Cloud Guru and more, both as an in-house leader and as a Principal Product Consultant at Thoughtworks. Always drawn to complex problems and growth opportunities, Ana stepped into the role of COO 18 months ago, bringing her product mindset and transformational principles to broader operational leadership.

Jithesh Ramesh:
I strive to help businesses understand the most valuable aspects of design based on user expectations. I encourage teams to prioritize the user’s experience with products to boost adoption and adherence.
