This week I am in Anaheim, California…Disneyland to be more exact.  I am attending the 33^rd Annual International Conference of the Product Development & Management Association.  As an official Media Partner for the conference, one of my responsibilities is to report and share with you the latest from the world of innovation, design, product development and product management. 

Let’s be clear…there are some heavy hitters here this week.  People like Guy Kawasaki and Professor Jean-Phillipe Deschamps and Ken James of GlaxoSmithKline and Steve Rendle of North Face and Dr. Sumantran of Hinduja Automotive.  And that's just the keynoters!  The conference has a full slate of corporate, academic and consulting-based experts in product development, design and innovation.  But that's still not it!  Add in Guru Roundtables where you can learn and ask questions in a more intimate setting, the Technology Showcase of new products and an entire exhibit hall full of NPD-related exhibitors.

I’ll be providing more frequent updates during each day at Twitter account @PDMAConference if you’d like to follow along in "real time."  Blog updates will be more summary in nature and published at the end of each day.
