BAM 2025 will be Nov 22–23, at the J Resort in Reno NV
About
Burn After Meeting is a conference for regional burn event organizers to share practical concerns and solutions, to learn from each other rather than learning the hard way, and to build an environment of mutual support. This short conference format provides the opportunity for organizers to expand both their knowledge base and their networks with valuable face-to-face interaction.
In the spirit of burn events, BAM is participant-driven. Attendees are invited to be speakers and moderators, and to propose and present sessions based on their expertise and experience.
BAM was inspired by Burning Man’s Global Leadership Conference, which was last held in 2017, and aims to create the same lively, collaborative environment and sense of fun.
