Testimonials

An event that provides an opportunity for perspectives from thought leaders from many perspectives globally. I highly recommend attending.

Andrew JerniganCEO of Insured Nomads
Running Remote Online made me realise how much better virtual conferences fit the digital world. Why hadn't I tried this sooner? I didn't feel awkward reaching out to others, connecting, starting a chat, etc. And it was much easier to gain new and useful connections on LinkedIn. It's going to be very hard to convince me to participate in a non-virtual conference in the future.

Winning The Talent War With Remote Working

Remote work is the new normal. Ongoing operations and future competitive advantage will go to those companies that leverage technology to enable flexible and remote work models.

In this talk, Tim Minahan explains how to strategically create a world-class business model to offer and enable remote work, make employees happier and more productive, and attract and retain the talent you need to move your business forward.
He’ll also share insights on evolving remote work practices for the future, based on the experience of the COVID-19 crisis, including engagement, communications, security, leadership, and work/life balance.
