Volunteer powered

Meet the people who make ProductCamp happen.

A free, community-led event only works because people choose to do the thoughtful work long before the doors open.

The team behind PCV26

Months of care for one remarkable day.

ProductCamp Vancouver's organizing committee is a volunteer team drawn from the local product community. Together, they shape the event, build partnerships, coordinate volunteers, communicate with attendees, and handle the countless details that let everyone else focus on learning and connecting.

This page recognizes the nine people who organized ProductCamp Vancouver 2026 and helped welcome a record community of more than 500 participants.

What organizers make possible

The work you see—and the work you don't.

  • Programme and session coordination
  • Sponsor relationships and community partnerships
  • Volunteer recruitment and event-day support
  • Registration, attendee communication, and promotion
  • Venue, food, accessibility, and logistics
  • The welcoming details that make a community feel like one
A tradition of showing up

Volunteer led since the very beginning.

ProductCamp Vancouver began in 2010 when Stewart Rogers brought together Adi Kabazo, Derek Pettingale, Geoff Wherrett, Liz Yeung, David Brockington, and Haig Sakouyan to form the first organizing committee. Every edition since has carried that same belief: strong communities are built by people willing to contribute.

Join the effort

Great community events need many kinds of help.
