What Past Attendees Say:

It’s truly a bootcamp. It’ll kick your butt with insights, but you’ll be glad it did and want more.

An incredible opportunity to learn a real world framework for applying behavioral science concepts to solving real world problems.

A comprehensive introduction to behavioral economics that provides you many of the tools to get started on learning by doing in your own job or organization.

This course was intense, but 100% worth the effort you put into it. It’s a perfect way to learn BE principles through hands-on experience rather than just reading books and articles but being unsure how to apply the concepts.

We increased user engagement in our platform from 25% to 33% by implementing simple changes learned at the Bootcamp.

BE Bootcamp is a crash course that will enable you to walk away with knowledge about behavioral economics principles in an accessible format, tools to apply this knowledge in your own product.
