We’ll also be following along live on the #tech-nottingham-monthly channel on Slack for general event chat and Q&A with Euan. After the talk we’ll be running an activity to get us all talking and connecting with our fellow community members.
You can join from your computer, phone or tablet - all you need is an internet connection. As we’re using both Zoom and Slack, and we’ll be running interactive activities, a computer or tablet would work better.

Notes from My Travels: Building Effective Teams When You're in Different Places
by Euan Finlay
More companies are embracing flexible working and distributed teams - whether that's individuals working remotely, or fully distributed companies with no central hub. This can have great benefits, but the path to success isn't always smooth.
At the FT, we collaborate daily across time zones, from New York to Manila. How do we help our teams remain effective, avoid "us-and-them", and feel part of a greater whole?
Having fixed production issues while up a mountain, I'll cover:
- effective communication across locations
- what we learnt from other companies
- advice on leading distributed teams
