Rooted and Remote: Migration, Belonging, and the Future of Location-Independent Work
The remote work movement has a word for freedom. It doesn't have one for belonging. Ángela-Jo draws on 25 years of designing integration programs for immigrant and refugee communities to explore what rootedness actually requires — and what it means for anyone living and working across borders.

What Makes Me Hire 1 Candidate and Reject 200 Others
Most candidates never find out why they didn't get the offer — because the person who decided never tells them. Julien is on the other side of that table: US companies pay him to make the call, and in his keynote he reveals exactly what tips the decision and how to become the candidate he'd choose.

From Employee to Remote Operator: Building a Career and a Company Across Borders
In 2018, Beatriz turned down a promotion and went remote with less than €1,000 in her bank account. No roadmap, no community. Her session maps what it actually took — finding clients, building systems, and growing something of her own alongside it.

Remote Work in Seasons: The Secret Powers of IRL and How to Measure Them

Remote Readiness: A Framework for Improving and Demonstrating Your Hireability
The technical infrastructure of remote work is solved — the competency gap is the problem nobody has mapped clearly enough to act on. Maya's workshop runs participants through a live Remote Readiness assessment across her 5Cs framework (Culture, Communication, Console, Collaboration, and Connection), identifies where their gap is largest, and ends with a written action plan tied directly into a real remote job search strategy.

Remote Work Didn't Kill Culture, It Just Exposed Yours
Remote work didn't kill your culture — it just exposed whether you ever had one. Mike breaks down what remote-native companies actually do differently: the invisible habits that build trust across time zones, and how to stop mistaking proximity for cohesion.

From Portfolio to Collaboration
The way knowledge workers present themselves is shifting fast — from CV to portfolio, from solo expertise to collaborative ecosystems, from static credentials to AI-augmented networks. In this workshop, Olga explores why the traditional CV is losing relevance and how dynamic portfolios combining real-world experience, measurable results, and digital tooling are becoming the new standard. We'll look at why networked, collaborative expertise is outpacing the solo model in the AI era, and how you can build an adaptive professional identity that drives both innovation and long-term career growth.

People Engagement in Remote Teams: Keeping People Inspired (Amazon Logistics Frameworks)
Most remote team-building conversations stay at the level of theory. Lina spent years as a People Manager at Amazon Logistics actually doing it, and her workshop skips the intro to go straight into hands-on group work — leaving attendees with concrete solutions for keeping distributed teams engaged, developing skills, and retaining the people worth keeping.

Location-Independent (Freelance) Business Setup: Options Beyond Your Home Country
This hands-on workshop covers what it actually takes to run a freelance business from anywhere in the world — not just the tech setup, but the legal and financial structure behind it. We'll walk through the difference between remote employment and true freelancing, how flag theory can make your setup tax-efficient and compliant for your clients, and what you need to send invoices across borders without headaches. We'll also briefly touch on international health insurance coverage.

Three Pillars of Remote Productivity: SSOT, Async-First, and Notion
