Wow, wow, WOW! HippoCamp Online 2026 was incredible.

Thank you from the bottom of our Hippo hearts to our speakers and attendees for making this such an engaging, memorable, and knowledge-filled weekend.

For those who registered but could not make it live, you are in for a treat when you get the recordings for your chosen session(s)!

A more formal follow-up email is on the way for all registered attendees. Look for it by Friday afternoon. It will include access to the recordings as well as any provided slides or hand-outs.

We may not see social messages right away, so if you have any questions, best to reply to one of the conference emails! :)

Thank you all!
