What happens at Boot Camp? Imagine 1500 passionate people gathering together to meet one another and change the world. Each Boot Camper's experience is unique. All of them include some combination of these activities:

Keynotes: Special guest luminaries will give you inspiration and ideas for putting your ideas into action. This year, we are excited to welcome Arianna Huffington, Randi Zuckerberg, and Craig Newmark as our keynote speakers.

Workshops: What do you want to learn about strengthening your community? Chances are, the subject is covered in one of our 24 workshops throughout the day. There are three workshop sessions throughout the day, and you can choose whichever presentations you like, space permitting. And if you miss something, chances are it will be available after the event as a free podcast.

One-On-One Coaching: Need some individualized help? Talk to one of our 50+ coaches. After you register you will be able to sign up for free 30-minute one-on-one coaching sessions with an ICF-certified coach from CTI, our coaching partner (a $150 value!). Coaching appointments are limited so register now.

Networking: You didn't think we'd gather 1500 people together without helping you meet each other, did you? Facilitated networking helps you connect to others who can help you achieve your goals - and people you can help too. Plenty of time for casual networking as well.

Exhibit Hall: We pride ourselves on connecting you to the services you need to get things done. Our exhibitors are a great mix of businesses and nonprofit service providers that can support your worldchanging efforts.
