Kamp is always a great experience. The co-speakers at the last event made for interesting conversation, the crowd was upbeat and curious, and the organization was A+. Phil and the Kamp team really go out of the way to make the speakers and founders feel welcome and appreciated. Thanks for all that you do for the startup/investor community.”
