It was bound to happen eventually. Someone was going to take the @ProductCamp brand and try to turn it into a traditional commercial conference. @DGTLCast @DGTLCastHQ are doing exactly that with ProductCampEU. Ticket prices from €199 to €899 (!!!). Gross.

If you're in the EU check out your local ProductCamp or start your own! I'm happy to provide help with that process, it's not hard. @DGTLCast I encourage you to develop your own brand for your conference, not use ProductCamp in a way it was never intended to be used.

In Austin, after I stepped away from leadership of @PCAustin we put in place a non-profit 501c(3) structure with a Board of Directors to ensure the local community could continue to benefit long past the original leadership. I'm proud that @PCAustin has continued for 15 years!

Free however for volunteers! What's worst is they're wrapping this in "un-conference" language and branding developed over a decade for BarCamp and ProductCamp worldwide.

Cont'd: 4) Organized by and for the participants, almost always locally, 5) "No-pitch zone" meaning sponsors are welcomed to share in sessions but not pitch their offerings.

Core tenants of ProductCamp include: 1) There are no attendees, only participants, 2) Cost is FREE to all participants and the camp keeps costs super-low to support this, 3) No guaranteed speaking slots, the agenda is participant-driven

For reference, I founded @PCAustin (inspired by @RichMironov and @ProductCampSV) and had a hand in working with founders of several dozen ProductCamps WW including: @pcampatl @RMPcamp @PCampBoston @pcampberlin @pcampchicago and many others.

I'm all for an ecosystem of different conference options for product professionals, like @MindtheProduct and INDUSTRY. But if you're going to be a for-fee conference, embrace that. Don't draft on the ProductCamp brand. ProductCamps are done by and for the participants.

.@hawthornelab again, love your stuff, but I travel for a living. Can’t take these sizes on the plane without transferring to different containers (messy). Can you ship a travel size alongside existing products? 2/2

.@hawthornelab love your product, I have the work scent, and just got the bar soap, facial cleanser, lotion, etc. 2 issues: the subscription suggests the bar soap will last 4 weeks, but I’m only getting about 2 from it. I don’t take long showers either! Suggestions? 1/2

Best wishes to all my friends at #pcatx24. I’m sad that I can’t be with you today, but with my Father’s recent passing it wasn’t a good time. Appreciate all the good wishes from those that reached out. See you next time.
