Attendance at any of our internal events means you agree to adhere to our ‘Internal Events Code of Conduct’.

The Internal Events Code of Conduct is there to set expectations and to ensure the happiness and safety of Camundi, by stating what kinds of behaviors are and aren’t acceptable at both virtual and in-person events. It also covers what to do in case of a breach of conduct.

We encourage you to read up on the code before attending the Retreat.

The Retreat is our opportunity to connect and meet colleagues away from daily business, socialize and build our outstanding people culture.

Alongside that we host epic business content sessions for the whole company, each department and cross-functional groups. If joining us on-site, attendance at these sessions is mandatory.

It is vital that all reimbursements and virtual card requests are correctly submitted. Fortunately, it is easy to do!
