Are you tired of regular conferences?
Do you love getting together with industry friends, but struggle to sit inside a conference hall listening to panel discussions and talking heads? Would you rather be outdoors enjoying a thrilling adventure while connecting with your sleep industry friends?
If this sings to your soul, Dream Camp might be for you.
What is Dream Camp?
Dream Camp is the world's first adventure retreat for executives, thought leaders, and tastemakers working in the sleep and mattress industry.
Dream Camp is for the adventurous among us who hate sitting inside a conference room and would rather make memories and connect with people by doing something active and engaging.
We believe when you come together around a shared interest like cycling, those conditions fast-track relationships and help people form lifelong bonds.
We’re sick of temporary, transactional interactions that unfold at most conferences and we decided to do something about it.
Dream Camp is for women and men who crave the outdoors and don’t want to spend their most valuable years stuck at a conference surrounded by blue blazers and brass buttons.
We play by our own rules. We love people and we believe that by deepening our connections we can make the world a better place.
Dream Camp is the only adventure retreat in the sleep industry designed to build community and connections that last a lifetime.
