PANEL DISCUSSION + Live Q&A

Remote Teams Panel

In the individual sessions, we looked at working remotely from the personal through to the company as a whole. In this panel, we'll hear ways that teams are linking these concepts together to make the experience of working together-but-apart work. It won't be a re-telling of the same presentations though: we'll dive, instead, into some of the personal experiences our panelists have had including the good, the not so good, and the downright disasters. Bring your questions, and if the prechat was any indication of how this panel will be, perhaps some popcorn as well!
