Product Camp Melbourne is an unconference – ie most of the talks you see on the day are voted on by you – but we do organise a few talks before hand including our keynote.
This year we’re talking about culture – and your role in creating and shaping it. You do not need to be the head of HR or head of the department in order to influence the team and organisation culture.
Our speaker, Sara Zabukovec, will explore the essence of company and team culture, debunking common myths and emphasising how every team member, from individual contributors to leaders, shapes it through daily actions and decisions. She will share her insights on building a collaborative culture with software teams.
One of our repeat and much loved sponsors is returning this year – Everest Engineering! Everest has sponsored Product Camp AND helped out immensely when we had some website issues a few years ago!

I will reveal my very own, never before shared, completely unbacked by any scientific research whatsoever, metaphor of how your brain works. Followed by the most condensed summary of every productivity expert on the planet, all through a product thinking lens.

Felicity is a product manager who has been somewhat obsessed with personal knowledge management and productivity for the past couple of millennia.
