Process Mining Camp is where professionals gather to learn from their peers. Since 2012, process miners from around the world have come together at camp to focus exclusively on the practical application of process mining.
This year, we invite you to join us for two intense, fully packed days of camp. You will have more time and opportunity than ever to advance your skillset, share your own experience, and to meet old and new friends. And, if you want to, you can join us for a third day at boot camp!
If you are serious about process mining, camp is the only place where you really get to know your fellow experts, and immerse yourself in the heart of the community.
Process mining is used by people all around the world, for hundreds of different use cases. At camp, you will meet people who apply process mining in their daily practice. Campers are curious, driven, and nice people who are spearheading process mining initiatives in their organization.
Whether in condensed practice talks, highly interactive workshops, or in our discussion roundtables — at camp you will learn from experts, share knowledge with your fellow campers, and enjoy an inspiring evening among friends.
Expand your process mining knowledge and skills in three intense workshops that fit together perfectly. Go deep, really understand the background, and look at a process mining project from all important angles.
This year's camp will have lots of time and opportunity for you to really get to know your fellow campers. You will enjoy even more of the unique, friendly, and stimulating atmosphere that makes camp so special.

You are not exactly new to process mining. Maybe you have just finished your first big project, or you have been applying process mining all over your organization for years. Where do you go from here, and how can you improve your skill set? This year's Process Mining Camp is designed to answer these questions.
Process mining is not a product that you can buy off the shelf. Its value comes from how it is applied in practice, by you, the process miner. For us, process mining is a craft, one that we all shape and create together every day. We need to hone our skills, invest time and effort into improving our practice, and expand the body of knowledge by sharing with other process mining professionals. At this year's process mining camp, you will immerse yourself in the community for up to three intense days of sharing and exchanging knowledge with your fellow process miners.
Our practice talks feature selected process mining professionals who are sharing their stories, their findings, and their experience on the stage. Highly condensed and distilled to the essence, these talks always spark interesting questions and conversations, and set the mood for camp.
Following the talks, you will get to know your fellow process miners in small, highly interactive discussion groups. Discuss the problems and questions that you share, exchange the experiences you made, and explore the possibilities that you have discovered. You will expand your knowledge and get inspiration from the stories you hear. But you will also make lasting connections, and leave the day with new friends in the community.
On the final day of camp, we are going to get our hands dirty in three intense workshops. By working on concrete, realistic scenarios, you are going to deepen your knowledge, and expand your skillset, in the fields of data preparation, discovery and analysis, and best practices. Wherever you are in your process mining journey, this day will give you a boost of fresh ideas and new techniques for your daily practice.
This year's Process Mining Camp is tailored to process mining experts, and to those that are on their way there. No self-appointed gurus with wise words, but driven professionals who are eager to advance their knowledge and skill set. It is most of all for those who want to share with, learn from, and connect with their fellow process miners as peers.
In order to make this exchange as open as possible, we need to keep this year's camp small and intimate. We want you to be able to get to know all the other campers, and have meaningful connections and experiences. Be part of a select group of process miners who want to go above and beyond, meet the core of the process mining community, and come join us at this year's Process Mining Camp!
Practice talks are essential to Process Mining Camp. We have asked a number of smart process mining professionals to share their knowledge and experiences with you, no holds barred.
Every talk is condensed and no-nonsense, followed by a frank and open discussion with and among the audience. Camp talks are not a one-way street, and no rosy stream of success stories, but an opportunity to learn from each other.
We are currently busy working on the program of this year's camp with a number of great speakers. They will be covering topics from process improvement, over auditing, up to process owners analyzing their own processes.
Sign up to the camp mailing list, and we will let you know as soon as the program is finalized.
In the afternoon, we get interactive — Join us for a discussion roundtable and connect to the community on a deeper level.
In small groups of up to eight people, you will talk about process mining topics such as customer journeys, auditing, Lean Six Sigma, the business case for process mining, data transformations, and security, privacy and ethics.
The goal is not primarily to find solutions, but to share openly and learn from each other. In the interaction with other process miners who have similar backgrounds as you, you can discuss challenges and ideas that deserve further attention.
At the end of the roundtable, each group will share their main insights with the whole community. Afterwards, we take the discussion into more informal terrain, over a relaxed dinner and drinks.
We will then pick up the topics that you focused on in the roundtables, the challenges you raised and the ideas you discussed, to inform and guide our workshops on the second day.
Process mining is an art more than it is a technology. To become an expert, you need to try new approaches, stumble, get back up, and learn from the experience.
There is no fixed sequence of steps you go through. But there are patterns, things an experienced process miner looks out for when they are faced with a new data set. Our workshops are designed to lead you through this experience of applying process mining, recognizing road blocks, and resolving them.
At camp you are going to attend three workshops. Each of them focuses on a particular aspect of process mining, and they fit together perfectly to give you the complete picture.

Before you can start answering your questions about a process, you first need to explore and fully understand it. What is the regular flow, and where are the deviations? Where does the process start, and where does it end? Once you start analyzing, you will find that you need to refine your initial analysis questions. And, eventually, you will want to develop ideas for improvements, and make projections about the likely effects of these process changes. How exactly can you do all this?
In this workshop you are going to practice hands-on, on a real-life data set. You will explore layers of the process in an iteration of discovery, question, and analysis cycles. The exercises cover a wide range of difficulty, so learners of all stages will be challenged and take away something new.

Data preparation is not something that you can just outsource to IT, or to data experts in your organization. There are various choices to be made which have a direct influence on the types of analysis that you can perform later. Therefore, you need to have a seat at the table and guide the data preparation steps, even if you don't execute them yourself. But what exactly do you need to pay attention to?
In this workshop you are going to take a deep dive into the world of data extraction and preparation. You will go beyond the fundamentals of case IDs, timestamps, and activities and look at the process mining data practice from all the relevant angles. You will create event logs from different perspectives, and you will learn to evaluate data quality, so that you know how reliable your data is. The hands-on exercises adjust to your existing level of data skills.

How do you translate process mining insights into changes in your organization? How do you make sure that the improvements stick? And how do you develop your process mining projects into a routine and general practice? The challenges for process mining are not only about technical skills. You also need to take strategic and cultural factors into account.
There is no simple recipe for making process mining successful. However, many different lessons can be derived from both successes and setbacks. By now, we have all been talking about these challenges and our experiences for two days — in the discussion groups, over dinner and drinks, in the breaks, and during the workshops. In this last workshop, we take a step back and collect what we have learned. You will leave camp with new ideas that you can apply right away.
Are you new to process mining? Then we highly recommend you to join the pre-training boot camp. You will get a comprehensive crash course on what process mining is all about, so that you can get the most out of the discussions and workshops during camp.
The boot camp consists of four sessions. The first session takes place online, one week before camp. You will get a general introduction and some first exercises to help you get started. We continue with the remaining sessions at camp, in person, on 14 May.
You will learn:
During the boot camp, you will learn everything that you need to know to join camp as a beginner. You will be able to follow the discussions, and to apply process mining in practical scenarios, during your camp experience and after.
Sign up now, and make sure you don't miss this opportunity!
If you are new to process mining, we strongly recommend that you book your camp ticket including our boot camp. Following an earlier online session, we will spend the complete first day of camp to teach you all the basics. This makes sure that you are already familiar with the major concepts, so that you can optimally benefit from your camp experience.

“In our company we are extremely focused on processes, and we see process mining as a valuable technique to quickly understand how processes are executed in reality. The process mining camps have been very important for us to learn about the possibilities and limitations. Rather than process mining as only a ‘technique’, for us, it's the place to listen to other companies revealing their experience with process mining.”
— Ward Steeman
Volvo, Belgium
“Attending process mining camp was a great opportunity to learn from other process mining practitioners in a relaxed and informal setting. Particularly helpful were presentations and discussions around key process mining challenges, including aligning process mining efforts to organizational culture and obtaining and preparing process data.”

For this year's camp, we have found the perfect camp site with the Fifth in downtown Eindhoven. Located in the city's former gasworks building, the Fifth is a concert venue, jazz club, restaurant and bar, and a focal point of the annual Dutch Design Week.
While the Fifth is located a stone's throw from the city center, it is tucked away in a post-industrial yard. This gives us the intimacy, peace, and quiet to fully focus on process mining for two full days. With a state of the art projector and audio system, and the Fifth's excellent restaurant and bar, we have all that we need, right there on site.
We will have several comfortable rooms at our disposal, so whether we're listening to talks, having roundtable discussions, workshops, or we're just hanging out for lunch or dinner — we'll be right at home.
Fifth is located in the south of the Eindhoven city center, and it can be reached from Eindhoven Central train station by a 15 minute's walk. If you want to come by car, parking space is available right in front of the building, but limited (please see alternative parking options below).
If you need a recommendation for a place to stay, consider the following options:
In general, any hotel that is in the city center should be fine.
We are Anne, Christian, and Rudi from Fluxicon, and we love process mining. After finishing our PhDs with Wil van der Aalst in Eindhoven, Anne and Christian founded Fluxicon with two goals in mind. For one, we want to build the best process mining software for professionals. At least as important a goal for us is to spread the word about process mining, to build and grow a worldwide process mining community, and to bring this community closer together. In 2017, we found our perfect third team member Rudi.
For us, Process Mining Camp is that dream come to life. Once a year, the whole process mining community is coming together in one place. No academic talks, and no sales show. At camp, we focus squarely and exclusively on the practical application of process mining.
In 2012, more than 70 smart and driven people joined us for the first Process Mining Camp. Since then, we have hosted an ever-growing community of campers in Eindhoven every year. We have experimented with different types of workshops, and we took the camp fully online in 2020, but at its core, camp has always remained the same: A place for process mining enthusiasts to meet, learn from each other, and to shape the future.
Last year, we took a big leap. We made more time for camp, and we designed the program to give you the maximum of interactive, hands-on learning opportunities. At the same time, we wanted to make sure that there is enough time for us to really get to know each another. We really loved that camp, and a lot of you told us that you did as well.
This is why we are doubling down with this year's camp. We made even more time for the core camp experience, now running for a full two days. We expanded the boot camp significantly, so that it is now a complete training in its own right. And we have redesigned the workshops, so that, whatever your current level of experience, you will leave camp with new skills, knowledge, and ideas.
This year's program is more interactive and hands-on than ever, so that you can get even more value from your experience. At the same time, you will have enough time to reflect, talk with your fellow campers, and make new friends in the community.
We cannot wait to meet you in Eindhoven! If there is anything we can help you with preparing for camp, just shoot us an email at camp@fluxicon.com.
We hope to see you at camp soon,
Process Mining Camp 2025 is organized by Fluxicon.
