Coming this July, we’re kicking off our very first Temporal Summer Camp!

We were brainstorming on what we could do this summer that would be both fun and educational for the community. Someone on our team tossed around the words “Summer Camp”, and it just clicked! We built Summer Camp to bring out the inner kid in you, while still providing educational content to ensure we all use our time wisely, because ain’t nobody got time for that. 😉

What is it?

Summer Camp, set to take place in the month of July 2024, is a collection of virtual and in-person activities, such as in-person meetups, lunch-and-learns, webinars, fireside chats, demos, and contests.

Community members can come and observe if they just want to watch or take on a more active role by volunteering to do a lightning talk on their use case, organizing a meetup in their city, or hosting a lunch and learn in their office! Registration for Summer Camp is officially open, so secure your spot today and don’t miss out on all of the upcoming activities.

If you are interested in presenting at a lightning talk (show and tell), hosting a meetup, or want to request a lunch and learn, email us at : summercamp@temporal.io

We’re still in the planning stages, but here’s what you can expect:

Learn and Build:

Our Temporal education team is preparing some beginner-friendly training sessions alongside some more advanced topics, if you’re looking to level up. Each week of the camp is filled with activities designed to cater to all learning styles and levels.These technical trainings will take you through the fundamentals and advanced nuances of Temporal.

In-Person Meetups:

“Disconnected” but highly connected. There’s something special about connecting with people who share your passion. We’re planning in-person meetups in a variety of cities across the globe. If you are interested in hosting one, make sure to email us at summercamp@temporal.io.

Organizing an educational pizza party at your office might just make you the hero at your company and on your team. Technology is constantly changing, and we need to make sure we stay on top of the pulse. We’re sending out our field experts to a variety of companies to host lunch and learns!
