Agenda
Anyone who knows the BootCamp experience, knows that the agenda is deliberately loose. This event is all about you. We work on what you need.
Of course there is a structure. Of course there is a vast amount of content. But what we cover and when depends purely on you and what’s happening in the room.
Be prepared for surprises…
But if you really want to spoil the surprise, you can check out a draft agenda below:
