Event highlights
Our executives tried to acknowledge people and the accomplishments of each team, drive alignment around strategy, end goals and priorities; and finally, give a space to ask and answer questions. Anyone that attended our meeting was able to direct questions in a Q&A part at the end.
It was an inspiring evening to move the dial, learn from the inspiring stories of successful leaders. Our All-Hand Meeting helped us hold onto our company culture, values and also push for bigger goals as we scale.
It also gave all involved time to relax and enjoy pizza, wine, and of course the company branded cake!
The next Devcom corporate team-building event will take place on July 27th. So you’ll have an ample chance to join our family by that date.
