Summer is on the horizon, and that means one thing: It is time to dust off the old tent and get ready for this year’s Process Mining Camp on 23 June!

As any camper will tell you, process mining is not something you just own or buy — process mining is something we are doing. It is not just a tool but a discipline.

Some things you have to learn on your own, other things you can learn from books. But we learn best when we share experiences with our peers. When we get together and talk about how exactly we do process mining.

This one goes up to eleven

Ten years ago, we got together for the first Process Mining Camp, and it has been the highlight of our year ever since. At Process Mining Camp, you meet people who face the same challenges as you. You exchange experiences and learn from each other. And you might just make some new friends along the way.

After two years of online camps, we will hold this year’s Process Mining Camp in person again. While our talks are the backbone of the event, the whole camp experience is interactive, spontaneous, and personal. Plus, clearing your schedule and being away for camp allows you to be present in a very different way.

Thanks to our friends from the TU/e Process Analytics group, we will pitch our tents once again at the auditorium of the Technical University in Eindhoven, back where it all started.

We know that traveling to a conference requires more time and effort than tuning in to an online event. So, we will make sure that this trip is worth your while. To maximize your time with other process miners, we will have discussion roundtables in smaller groups and plenty of social time.

What’s on the menu

Here is what you can expect from this year’s camp:

• We are already working with some great speakers on their practice talks. So, the program will be top-notch. And of course, you can meet the speakers over coffee later in the day.

• You can join one of our discussion roundtables and go deeper on various process mining topics. The discussion groups will be small so that you meet and get to know everyone in your group.

• We will have a process mining clinic. Bring your most tricky process mining problems and get expert advice.

• There will be plenty of time for socializing so that you get the chance to catch up with everyone.

• By moving much of the camp outdoors, this will be the most summer-campy camp ever! We will even have a sort-of campfire in the form of a BBQ at the end of the day.

Join us for the tenth anniversary of the Process Mining Camp community!

Pull out your calendar now and mark Thursday, 23 June, as Process Mining Camp day! (add it to your calendar here)

Safe and sound

Of course, Corona is still in the air, and we do not have our heads in the sand. So, this is how we are going to make camp a safe experience for all of us.

The practice talks will be presented in a large, well-ventilated room with lots of space. We will provide masks, and we will all be wearing them indoors.

All the breaks, lunch, dinner, and coffee will be outside. Many parts of the camp program will also take place outdoors. So, you can breathe fresh air while conversing with your fellow process miners.

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable at camp. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know at camp@fluxicon.com.

Making the camp safe also means keeping the number of attendees lower than usual, which means that tickets will be even more limited this year. Be sure to sign up for our waiting list here, and we will give you a heads up right before we open registration very soon.

We can’t wait to see you in Eindhoven on 23 June!
