The AIPMM Sponsors Rocky Mountain Product Camp

Oct. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Reno, Nevada -  The Association of International Product Marketing And Management (AIPMM) is the world's largest professional organization establishing standards of excellence and awarding certification credentials for product marketing and management professionals to demonstrate their level of expertise and operate at peak performance.

Therese Padilla, President of AIPMM, stated, "Too often people fall into managing products and product marketing responsibility without a foundation for success. The AIPMM provides on-going education, resources, and certification credentials for professionals seeking knowledge necessary to guide their products throughout the entire product lifecycle and advance their professional careers."

During lunch at Rocky Mountain Product Camp, participants will have the opportunity to discuss AIPMM certification credential opportunities and learn about the special RMPCamp discounts for the virtual online study group in preparation for the Certified Innovation Leader (CIL) exam.

ProductCamps are a worldwide movement of innovative, user-generated "unconferences" that offer the latest strategies and tactics to teach companies how to develop, manage, and position their products to win in the marketplace.  Rocky Mountain Product Camp takes place on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at Metro State University of Denver, Auraria Campus. http://www.rmpcamp.org/ @rmpcamp

Chad McAllister, Ph.D., shared, "The Pcamp topics are decided by attendees voting – topics won’t be known until the conference. However, we have proposed two topics and will be prepared to speak on: "Using Product Development and Innovation Certifications For Career Advancement" and "The Certified Innovation Leader (CIL) Innovation Frameworks And Need To Align Culture With Strategy.""

McAllister and Jama Bradley, Ph.D., of Product Innovation Educators, are excited to discuss the Certified Innovation Leader (CIL) Virtual Online Study Group Program as well as other AIPMM certifications and the CSU-Global Campus' Applied Business Management graduate course, which was developed with assistance from the AIPMM to prepare individuals for the Certified Innovation Leader® (CIL) exam.

Jama Bradley, Ph.D. agreed with Chad that, "Innovation drives our economy and now more than ever we need people to drive innovation. Becoming a Certified Innovation Leader (CIL) prepares you to lead and participate in innovation and product development projects, shows your commitment to professional development, and makes you standout from your peers."
