Owner Camp Portugal • May 13-16, 2025
Work on Your Business Away from Your Business
For Owner Camp 2025, we wanted to choose a fresh destination where we’ve never hosted a Bureau event before. Lisbon, Portugal, has been on our radar, and it’s finally time to give this vibrant city a well-deserved spot on our roster.
Over three incredible days, we’ll dive into the challenges, triumphs, and realities of running a creative business. Sure, it’s work—but it’ll feel more like therapy. You’ll quickly grow your professional network and forge lasting friendships along the way. From the opening happy hour to the final dinner, you’ll be sharing stories, gaining insights, and having plenty of laughs. You’ll leave inspired and energized, armed with actionable ideas to implement in your organization right away.

INVALUABLE CONNECTIONS
Owner Camp offers a unique chance to connect with fellow owners in a safe space for open, honest conversations about your role, team, and shared challenges. Forge connections that last well beyond camp, keeping the conversations and camaraderie alive.
AN ULTRA-INSPIRING ENVIRONMENT
The best ideas rarely come when you’re stuck at your desk or buried in meetings. They spark when you’re strolling through sunlit streets, marveling at breathtaking views, or sharing laughs with friends. Lisbon’s vibrant energy, historic charm, and stunning coastal scenery provide the perfect backdrop for inspiration. If you’re craving fresh ideas and a change of pace, Owner Camp is calling.
TIME TO RENEW & REFOCUS
Live fado music and indulging in fresh seafood and pastéis de nata—it’s all part of a hard day’s work at Owner Camp in Lisbon. If you enjoy mixing a bit of play with stretching your mind and tackling big challenges, this is the perfect place to be. You’ll return to work with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a reinvigorated perspective.
