How to Build a Thriving Company Culture in a Remote Startup
In 2019, remote businesses made up 16% of today global companies. Since then, employees and employers have been thrust into a new world of distributed work. Traumatic shifts aside, research shows that the benefits of remote work for businesses and employees are enormous, with significant impacts on employee productivity, health, and satisfaction, as well as lowering business expenses and employee turnover. However, running remote teams poses challenges unlike the traditional office job, mainly building company culture. In this session, we will learn how to build and sustain a thriving employee culture in remote companies. Breanne Acio, who has lead remote teams from manufacturing to technology, will provide insights on how to instill corporate values and mission, and what practices and tools leaders can use to promote collaboration, productivity, and drive in their remote teams. Learn how to turn one of the central challenges of location independence into one of your company top strengths.

Software Residencies: Building Teams From Within
Internships and paid apprenticeship are a fantastic way to engage less-experienced developers. For many participants, they see it as a foot in the door. However, the problem is that most companies aren't set up to support those folks longterm. This starts a ball rolling down a questionable path from junior to mid-level to experienced ("senior") developers. Centuries ago, medical doctors were becoming an established trade with a similar problem. Lucky for them, they found a solution: residencies. In this presentation, we'll use an established model of thinking that combines structured learning, mentorship, and practical experience to address the junior-to-senior career path problem.

Directing Your Startup Team
The show must go on! That is as true in a startup as it is in the theatre. Before I transitioned my career into the startup world, I spent over a decade producing and directing in the entertainment industry. Little did I know that those years were only preparing me for what it meant to manage a truly collaborate and efficient startup team. In the entertainment industry, it is the director's job to make sure that everyone is doing their job under intense time pressure and collaboratively working across departments to cohesively tell the same story. What I found was the job of a tech startup CEO required the same coordination of departments, the same balancing of egos, and the same desire to empower every team member. This talk will walk through the skills needed to create such an organization and put a different perspective on managing a highly effective team.
