CiviCRM is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. To celebrate this milestone, CiviCooP is organising several week-long activities this autumn, starting with a CiviCamp on Monday 20 October, followed by a CiviSprint from Tuesday 21 October to Friday 24 October. 

During the CiviCamp day on Monday, there will be a varied programme for CiviCRM user organisations as well as developers and consultants. We will organise a number of parallel workshops and presentations discussing new developments and presenting existing user applications. If you are not yet using CiviCRM but interested and want to know more, CiviCamp is an excellent time for that. Besides the sessions, there will also be plenty of opportunity to meet others from the CiviCRM community and exchange tips and experiences on how you are using CiviCRM.

Following CiviCamp, we will organise a CiviSprint. During these 4 days, members of the community come together to further develop CiviCRM together, both in terms of code and documentation. Sprints are ideal for getting to know others and contributing to CiviCRM yourself. You can propose a project yourself or join others working on something bigger. In addition, it's also a fun, informal get-together in beautiful surroundings. 

Location
Both CiviCamp and CiviSprint take place at Hotel de Werelt on the Veluwe, in the woods near Lunteren. Easily accessible by car and public transport (approx. 15 min walk from Lunteren train station). 

More information will follow in the course of Q2. If you have questions or would like to contribute, please contact Jaap Jansma (jaap dot jansma at civicoop dot org) or Erik Hommel (erik dot hommel at civicoop dot org).
