Miami Valley Research Park
For 10 days, BaseCamp is turning part of Miami Valley Research Park into a place to eat, drink, work, meet up, and spend time.
Grab coffee. Meet a coworker for lunch. Bring your laptop outside. Stay for a beer. Come back for music, games, wellness, food trucks, and more.
BaseCamp is open to everyone.
