Join us at BaseCamp
this October!


October 17–25, 2026
Miami Valley Research Park

A place to stop in and stay awhile.

BaseCamp is a temporary gathering place with food, drinks, comfortable places to sit, and a changing lineup of things to do. Come for lunch, bring your laptop, meet up with friends or coworkers, or make BaseCamp part of your day.
