Best Remote Work Conferences
to Attend in 2020
Vol.2

This is an updated version of Vol.1

"It's clear that Covid has changed a lot about our lives, and that certainly includes the way that most of us work," Zuckerberg said, announcing that half of the company's employees would work from home. Google told employees that many workers who can do their jobs remotely should plan to do so until 2021. Twitter decided to give up on timelines altogether — telling most employees they can just work from home forever. "Office centricity is over," Tobi Lutke, CEO at Shopify, said in a tweet.

All these big and small steps, temporary measures, and the remote work experience of more and more people in total will become a turning point. Soon the debate about synchronous and asynchronous work, the primacy of written or oral communication, how to maintain the culture in a distributed company, and other issues that seemed to have been left behind will resurface again.

It is all the more interesting to observe the evolution of the idea of remote work, as from the idea of the future it has become our everyday life, with its problems, difficulties and, of course, advantages.

For those who want to understand the topic seriously and prevent a lot of mistakes the founders of remote companies have already learned from, we recommend choosing a suitable conference (there are not so many of them yet), so that in a short time to absorb the intense flow of information and get down to business, being armed with actual knowledge.

"This year's agenda will be delivered by leaders of remote and remote-friendly companies. Explore 4 themes our speakers will discuss during Remote Future Summit 2020: digital collaboration, culture, human capital, change."

The Remote Future Summit is an annual virtual conference focused on remote work powered by Remote-how. During the first two editions, it has attracted over 8000 participants, both remote work enthusiasts, and decision-makers from 128 countries.

Founders of remote-first startups, creators of remote tools and HR managers of remote teams will meet again to discuss important topics of remote work. The conference will be held for the second time, the first was held in January and you can view the recordings of the speeches here.

So different participants from the most different businesses, different origins, but all of them have one thing in common: the choice of remote and successful mastering of it. A special place among the topics is given to the problem of building and maintaining a culture in a remote company and its role in the comfort of employees and their productivity.

These are the speakers from the previous conference:

"Building great products is hard. We're here to help you learn from those who've been there and done it."

In October 2020, join JAM for their largest event in history, JAM Online 2020. It's a 5-day online experience focused on expanding your maker's toolkit through 12 honest stories from peers, 10 hands-on workshops, and 800+ attendees. Early bird tickets (25% off) only until September 7.

"During this three-day remote conference, we'll discuss the latest trends, frameworks, and best practices you need to know to solve the ever-evolving challenges of modern teamwork. Be a part of the community at our second annual free online conference, featuring companies leading the way in remote and distributed work (or adjusting to a new norm)."

Last year, Miro (the online collaborative whiteboard platform) hosted Distributed 2019, the largest virtual summit for enterprise product teams. That summit had over 14K participants from 86 countries. Be sure to check out Miro's last year's agenda and speakers, and learn from the visual guide.

This year with the help of Miro, you can continue learning what enables teams to be successful, whether they're working from an office, telecommuting from home, or working remotely from somewhere else.

"We discovered tremendous opportunities for our community online, thus Running Remote Online virtual conference series was born. Remote-first founders will continue to learn and network without the need to travel. Prepare to be amazed by modern virtual event technology, it's much more than a Zoom webinar, or a meet-up!"
