Virtual Learning Labs will replace our traditional face-to-face preconference workshops. Participants will spend time with subject matter experts and colleagues learning more about a specific topic of interest and how to apply what they learned after the conference. Learning Labs will be scheduled during the weeks immediately preceding and succeeding the conference.
Learning Lab | Best Practices for Managing a Remote Team
October 12–19 | Live session: October 14
We are excited to offer a collaborative learning event focused on leading remote teams. All of us have had to adapt quickly to remote working, and, as a result, many have adopted new ways of managing or leading teams. During this workshop, we will explore successful practices from organizations that have been remote for years, discuss and learn from our shared experiences, and focus on transitioning from surviving to thriving while in this environment. In addition, we will focus on applying an equity lens to all of our remote practices to ensure they are equitable and inclusive.
