COMPADRES
CAMPFIRE
Some people run networking events. We run Compadres Campfire.
It’s not a conference. It’s not a panel talk. It’s a closed-door, invitation-only gathering where the sharpest Founders, CEOs, and creators come together around a metaphorical fire to ask better questions, share hard-won wisdom, and shape what’s next.
At Campfire, every seat is equal. Every voice matters. Everyone in the room could be the speaker — and many have been somewhere else.
Why We Run Campfire
After three decades building, scaling, and reinventing ventures globally — from helping grow Global Citizen ($50bn USD mobilised for extreme poverty) to Women in Tech (250,000+ women globally) to Plate It Forward (food security through jobs and dignity) — one truth is clear:
The best change happens in rooms where trust is high and conversation is real.
That’s what Compadres Campfire creates. A space where leaders drop the armour, share what’s really going on, and walk away with clarity, confidence, and connections that last.
“Humans create futures — but we create them best together.”
Past Campfires
Past speakers and attendees include:
Why You Should Attend (or Speak)
- Learn, not just listen – Sit alongside leaders who walk the talk
- Real conversations – No fluff, no pitching, no posturing
- Collective wisdom – Everyone in the room contributes, not just spectates
- Global insights, local relevance – Hear what’s working in NYC, London, Paris, Singapore — and what that means for you
- Connections that matter – Build collaborations that count, not just contacts
As a speaker, you’re not delivering a keynote for YouTube reels. You’re inviting peers into your story — your scars, your insights, your challenges — so the room can walk alongside you.
The Campfire Experience
- Trust first, business follows
- Closed-door conversations you can’t have anywhere else
- Collective awe that sparks bold new ideas
- An atmosphere of equality — founders, CEOs, investors, creatives all in the circle together
”At Campfire, the power isn’t just on stage — it’s in the room.
Our Mission
Help thousands of entrepreneurs realise their business potential, lead rewarding lives, and create ventures that positively impact the planet.
Campfire is where that mission comes alive — one story, one spark, one conversation at a time.
