P-Camp - Product Camp 2011 - is an annual barcamp for people who are product managers and in related fields. I have been at the last few, and it is a day well spent.
Barcamp's (barcamp.org) are free or near-free, open source meetings - the agenda is usually set at the start of the day.
Product Camp this year will be April 2. It's free. but you must register to get a space.
Sponsored and organized by SVPMA - which is a great service for the Silicon Valley tech community.

Your Linkedin network - the one you already have - can be the key to getting your startup moving, with investors, partners, customers, or employees. Hear one of Linkedin's founders explain how.
By Mark Helfen
As you try to start up your startup, you have no brand, or at least no brand recognition. Making it difficult to attract investors, partners, employees, and customers - the very things that would get you some recognition. The result, according to the speaker at next MarketingSIG meeting (March 17) is a "catch-22."
But by using Linkedin and the personal network you already have, you can break this cycle, and get the contacts you need to get your business going.
Our speaker, Konstantin Guericke, was one of Linkedin's founders, and its first marketing VP. He is currently a partner at 50505 labs, which helps entrepreneurs get the business running. Before that, he was CEO at Jaxtr, a social communications startup.
In speaking to him about his presentation next week, its clear he is both a fan or Linkedin, and expert on startup entrepreneurs using the network, and he will share some of that knowledge in his presentation.
