ProductCamp St. Louis: April 21, 2012

[Jeff Lash]

ProductCamp St. Louis -- http://productcampstlouis.org/ -- is a FREE
collaborative, user organized professional conference, focused on New
Product Development, Product Management, and Marketing topics, and we
wanted to extend the invite to our Product Management friends in
surrounding areas -- including Birmingham.

It's being held on Saturday, April 21 at the University of Missouri
St. Louis. We'd love to have product managers and others from the
Birmingham area -- you can easily drive here in a day and still have
time left over to sample some of our sights (http://stlouisarch.com/)
and tastes (e.g. http://www.teddrewes.com/).

At ProductCamp St. Louis, everyone participates in some manner:
presenting, leading a discussion, showcasing a best practice, or
sharing their experiences. Others help with logistics, securing
sponsorships, or volunteering. This is a self organizing
collaborative event that is designed be a fun, rewarding and a unique
experience ProductCamp St. Louis is a great opportunity for you to
learn from, teach to, and network with professionals involved in the
Product Management, Marketing, and Development process from the St.
Louis and surrounding areas!

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing great. Check out the PointClear Solutions workshop “Essentials of User Experience.”  It takes place March 29^th in Nashville, TN at the Union Station Hotel. 

Please forward if you know someone who might be interested. 

Workshop Description:

User experience is more than designing a slick user interface. It’s about deeply understanding your users’ behaviors, goals and needs. It’s about aligning your users’ motivations with your business strategy for the greatest ROI. It’s about thinking through every aspect of the interactions your users have with your company and making sure you’re exceeding expectations. And it’s about evaluating, measuring and improving over time.

This fast-paced, 1-day workshop from PointClear Solutions is in a small class setting where you can get one-on-one personal attention. It will help you understand why user experience is so important to your business and how to apply user-centered methods to your projects for increased success.
