LaidOffCamp - March 29 - 1PM

Join us on March 29th, 1pm - 6pm at the Larimer County Workforce Center in old town.

--- MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE! ---

LaidOffCamp started in San Francisco with over 400 people who were either "creatively employed" or unemployed. They came together for an open unconference to share their experiences, expertise, and stories, with the goal of helping each other through these tough times.

*You don't have to be unemployed to attend!*

Anyone who wants creative ideas and inspiration for finding a job or starting your own business is welcome. If during these challenging economic times you have lost your job or are looking for better work, then this would be an excellent opportunity to meet people who might be able to help you in your quest!

You should attend LaidOffCamp Fort Collins if you are:


  • Wanting to connect with creative, friendly and helpful people
  • Seeking employment or recently laid off
  • Looking for creative ways to supplement your income or change your career
  • Running your own business, a freelancer, solo entrepreneur or startup company

    I had a blast at the Laidoff Camp. I'm definitely going next year. I just showed up and started facilitating where they needed someone. Thanks! Nick

    Laid off Camp was amazing! I was looking forward to getting a few tips on the next things that I needed to do to get my biz plan together. I got that and a whole lot more! What was amazing was to see Nick at work in the story telling class to cover the subject as one individual was needing, while giving the rest of us more than what we looking for, while facilitating the entire group into sharing and helping one another! Brother, you rock! Read more about this in my post on laidoffcamp!

    A great time for Kevin and I - we really enjoyed putting on this event. Big thanks to Cohere, Larimer County Workforce Center, Lucinda, Cali and everyone else who helped to make LaidOffCamp Fort Collins #5 a huge success. We're very happy with how it turned out and glad to see so many familiar faces there. Hope to see you at the next one!

    I had a blast. Facilitated a group where they needed one. Let the group lead the discussion from 50+ job search to identifying transferring skills to change careers, functional resumes and chronological resumes, networking, staying focused and positive. interviewing
