5. Ramp Up Remote: How to Build Community + Culture in Distributed Teams
ORGANIZED BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY
APR 9 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Founders Networking
As we all watch the evolving COVID-19 situation, companies around the world have rolled out mandatory remote work to reduce the risk. For many years, people have predicted the rise of technology would allow jobs to become more distant from the office. Is this a revolution and a glimpse into the future of work or just an emergency move?
In partnership with Hypergiant Industries and Salt Recruitment, join us for a virtual panel discussion on the Ramp Up Remote: How to Build Community + Culture in Distributed Teams.

The Fireside Chat will be with Rob Krecak, who will be chatting with us about how we can better utilize our tech without becoming addicted..
During a time like this, we may be more invested into our phones and electronics.. Is that a good thing? Are we becoming more addicted to ever little ping and notification on our phone?
Let’s chat about some ways to keep our focus and sanity during this quarantine.
