February 18-19, 2026 | Atlanta
Comms Camp is an intimate, urban retreat for change-makers in marketing & communications.

Brilliance Sharpens Brilliance.
Comms Camp is an intimate gathering designed for a select group of communicators who want more than inspiration—they want transformation. With a limited number of seats, this retreat creates space for immersive learning, skill-building and the kind of connection that only comes in a small-group setting. Come for:
-
Deep learning and reflection time to elevate your craft, expand your toolkit.
-
Peer sharpening opportunities where your brilliance meets the brilliance of others.
Together we’ll strengthen not only your craft, but also your entrepreneurial mindset—the resourceful, adaptive approaches that future-proofs communications work.
Your Stay and Your Play are Included.
