MeasureCamp is an open, participant-driven “unconference” for the data and analytics community, where the schedule is created on the day and anyone can lead a session. It’s a fast-paced, collaborative environment where marketers, analysts, product managers, and data enthusiasts share ideas, solve problems, and connect. I volunteer on the Social Media and website side, and on event day—when everyone is running around—I’m right there in the mix, helping wherever needed to keep things moving and the event running smoothly.
