Camp Boom is a mixture of activities and talks that are about being fat – and activities and talks that happen while fat. You choose what you want to attend – if something isn’t too your taste, take the opportunity to chill out, go for a walk or have a nap. It’s your weekend.

Please note: Speakers and sessions may move around the timetable or change as the schedule develops to make sure different types of activities are spread well throughout.

Friday November 25

Optional: group dinner at a central restaurant (tbc). This will be at your own cost.
(All activities are optional of course, but this is extra optional if it’s easier for you to get to Wellington on the Saturday morning)
