Hot Desks to Sweatpants: Hybrid Work Roundtable with Jessica Damerst

Time: 3:10pm - 4:10pm

Description: What does it take to build and nurture a hybrid working environment? What are the challenges of working and coordinating teams remotely? What infrastructure can provide secure yet powerful development environments for employees in the office and abroad? What are the challenges to hiring for and leading a hybrid team?

During the pandemic, teams switched to working together remotely. As employees return to work, many companies are exploring a hybrid office, allowing for on-site and remote work. With globalization leading to faster and more reliable access to internet, hybrid development environments are become more feasible with each passing year. Yet they present their own unique challenges.

Engage with other industry professionals on the topic of hybrid working arrangements—including hiring, team leadership, office spaces, company events, IT solutions, and more. Challenge the status quo of working a 9-to-5 office job with collaborative and innovative problem solving.
