Suggested Session Types

Don’t worry if you don’t like big crowds, we’ve got rooms suitable for small discussions. Equally if you only get out of the bed for 100 people, we accommodate that format too.

Structure a proposed session however you wish. These three formats that have been well received at previous Product Camps:

• Town Hall – The Session leader gives a short presentation on their chosen topic and then opens the floor for expansion, comment, questions and general discussion.
• Panel – The Session leader organises a panel comprising a number of people qualified to talk about the subject of the session, preferably from diverse or even counterpoint perspectives or roles.  The session leader identifies and invites speakers in advance and moderates the discussion leaving lots of time for discussion by all or questions from the floor. We can also help you fill your panel on the day!
• Round Table – The Session leader chooses a topic, introduces the topic and chairs the discussion. Discussions center as much as possible on sharing the experience and views among the group.

Every session has a Product Camp Dublin monitor there to help, guide, and support session leaders.
