Sean Glaze argues that in-person conferences, retreats, and trainings matter more now, especially for companies with remote workers. Face-to-face time builds relationships and familiarity that remote work alone can't create.
If everything that you took for granted was taken away, what would you be left with? I think sometimes when things are taken away, we learn to appreciate them that much more. And when organizations have had a chance to come back and have in-person conferences and do retreats or trainings to bring their people in who haven't met, because you, you know, 30% of new hires maybe have been remote, and now you're bringing them together for an annual or a you know, a quarterly retreat of some kind, it's such a different feel for them to be able to have that connection with and build relationships with and establish a familiarity with people who they had only known virtually.
