Choose your adventure
Camp Opticon is built around five rooms. Like any good trail system, each one takes you somewhere different. Pick the terrain that fits where you are.
Trailhead
The room where people show their work. Every session is anchored in something real: a launch, a failure, a breakthrough, or a hard-earned lesson. The story matters, but so do the decisions behind it. You'll leave knowing how they got there, not just where they ended up.
Outpost
Strong opinions backed by experience, data, or both. Maybe two sides are arguing it out. Maybe one speaker is making a case the room doesn't want to hear. The goal isn't consensus. It's leaving with a sharper perspective than you came in with
Tent talks
The short format. Fast, focused sessions that get straight to the point and stay there. Every talk is built around an idea, lesson, or perspective worth your attention. You'll leave with something you'll still be thinking about after camp.
Bonfire
No slides. No script. One question and a room full of different answers. No one has the final answer, and that's the point. The conversation belongs to everyone in the room.
Agent lodge
The build room. You'll create, test, and refine agents alongside others doing the same. Less watching. More making. Leave with something real, not just notes.
4:00 pm EDT
Closing keynote
We bring the day home. A final keynote from Seth Godin to land the big ideas, spark a few last thoughts, and send you off on a high.
6:30 pm EDT
After dark
The sun goes down. The bar opens. Stick around for well-earned drinks, great food, and a bit of banter over good music at our closing reception.
