Nico will share how storytelling, events, strategy, and community-building helped her connect overlooked audiences and build trust across industries. Come explore career paths, transferable skills, and new possibilities in tech.

Summer camp is all about meeting new people, trying new things, and discovering something new about yourself along the way. At camp, some of the best moments happen around the campfire — when everyone gathers, listens, laughs, asks questions, and shares stories.
That’s the spirit behind our Campfire Chat.
In this session, we’ll gather as a community to hear a real career story from someone working in or around tech. They’ll share how they got started, what they learned along the way, the unexpected turns their path has taken, and the skills that helped them grow.
This is not a formal lecture or a perfect success story. It’s a chance to hear an honest, human story about work, change, confidence, and possibility.
Together, we’ll listen, reflect, ask questions, and connect the story to our own career journeys. You’ll leave with fresh perspective, a practical takeaway, and maybe a new way to think about what comes next for you.
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. Pull up a seat by the career campfire.
Join us for a campfire chat with Nico Gendron, the Customer and Community Lead at Filament, where she helps build meaningful customer experiences and high-retention communities.
