Campfire presents ‘Big Boost Mondays’ with Jonny Grant, The Department – an evening to go deeper

Big Boost Mondays is a gathering of the like-minded on the first Monday of the month, to enjoy an evening with inspirational speakers and “doers” from the world of technology, art and culture. The event will take place at our brilliant FORA studio in Clerkenwell, London.

Our complimentary alcohol-free bar is a great place to catch up with friends and make new ones too, and provides a great space for creative networking.

In this campfire talk, we were joined by Jonny Grant, Chief Experience Officer & Co-Founder at The Department.
