Convince Your Boss to Send You to CamundaCon 2025 in Amsterdam

Let’s get you to CamundaCon 2025 in Amsterdam this spring. Need to convince your boss? Say no more. We’ve got you covered.

While we do of course have an actual letter you can customize and email to your boss (or read aloud in person? Morph into a slide presentation? The choice is yours, really), maybe you want the highlights first.

Here are our insider tips for convincing your boss to send you (and your team?) to CamundaCon.

1. Describe it.

CamundaCon is in Amsterdam this May 14–15 (that’s a Wednesday and a Thursday) with a preconference the Tuesday before. In a nutshell, it’s a meeting of the minds about how to implement process orchestration in business.

Process orchestration and automation is a system for ensuring that the various tools and software the company uses work in tandem without a ton of manual interference. It’s about tying your systems together so that routine chores—updates, maintenance, or customer service tasks—are handled smoothly and with as much automation as possible from the beginning of the process to the end.

2. Explain why it helps the company.

Whether your company is already experimenting with adding AI into your orchestration or is just trying to visualize the sprints it would take to migrate from a legacy monolith to a more tool-agnostic system, you can learn about optimal next steps at CamundaCon.

You could:

• Compare products leading in the market with ones that are up and coming
• Learn how to use agentic process orchestration to optimize your business processes
• Hear about specific use cases and strategies from other development and business teams that have worked with process orchestration

3. Namedrop the speaker list.

You’ll be getting insight into how to level up your business processes with speakers from companies like Rabobank, T-Systems Austria, and NORD/LB. Not to mention a few of our own knowledgeable experts at Camunda—just to give you the inside scoop into how one process orchestration platform approaches end-to-end processes.

Whatever operational complexity has your company stumped, one of these people will be able to show you how they overcame it.

4. Highlight the in-person benefits.

Our online attendees have access to a lot of the conference, but in-person attendees definitely experience the most CamundaCon can offer. Select a few in-person-only events to mention to your boss, along with how they could benefit your organization.

For example, which masterclass would you like to attend if you could: AI orchestration, SAP enablement, or migration strategy? Don’t forget to mention that participating in the hackday event always means knowledge sharing and community building. And at the participant-driven Unconference, you could bring attention to topics and questions that your organization would specifically like to know more about.

5. Offer to share knowledge afterward.

For the cherry on top of the sundae, don’t forget to promise to share. Point out to your boss that you’ll be coming back with not only big-picture visions of what the company could achieve over time, but also best practices you can implement right away.

Of course, you could point out that groups of 5 or more get a 20% discount on tickets. After all, you’re just one person, and you can’t be in multiple talks at once, can you?

Process orchestration can look intimidating when you realize what it’s capable of achieving—an automated end-to-end process complete with a modeled roadmap, anyone? But small, immediate improvements can pave the way for larger, more complex goals. And you’ll be ready to share all of that with the rest of the company, just as soon as you get back from Amsterdam.

See you at CamundaCon!
