Happy Startup Summercamp 2017: The full line-up revealed
The weekend of the year is almost upon us. Here’s what we’ve got planned for our 5th anniversary next month.
“I am still having trouble processing the last few days. I sat on the train home, looking at the scenery that I have seen so many times., but it was I was like I was seeing it through a new pair of eyes. Something inside me has fundamentally changed. Viva la revolution!!!!” Dan Flanagan
In September a small group of 150 budding entrepreneurs, creatives, innovators, movement makers and startup founders will gather on a beautiful 300 acre farm to chew the fat on life.
Summercamp is the annual celebration of the incredible community we’re building at The Happy Startup School. Inspiration is all around, amazing connections are made and new ideas are hatched.
Those that come know that they’ve been part of something truly special. Many tell us it’s the best event they’ve ever been to.
These 3 days are where you can feel the power of the community first-hand and experience collaboration and openess that is rare in modern life. It’s a glimpse of the world as it could be.
Below you can take a deeper dive into what we’ve got planned. But whilst we have inspiring talks, thought-provoking workshops and fun activities, the real value is in the people you meet – a unique group of people that get you. Likeminded folk that want to make a positive dent in the world and don’t want to do it alone.
