GitLab Commit Virtual: Full Schedule

Sessions will be available during their listed time, and then on demand on the platform after the initial 24 hours of straight content!

The Sched app allows you to build your schedule but is not a substitute for your event registration. You must be registered for GitLab Commit: Virtual 2020 to participate in the sessions. If you have not registered but would like to join us, please register and attend here. Space in sessions is unlimited so advance sign-up is not necessary, it is just a convenience offered to guests.

To save a schedule you need to be logged in Sched, but this is not tied to your event registration. You do not need to be logged in to view the schedule.

Reminder: Sched is not the event platform, it is the schedule

Please note: This schedule is automatically displayed in Pacific Time (PT). To see the schedule in your preferred timezone, please select from the drop-down menu to the right, above “Filter by Date.”

How To Create An Equitable And Inclusive Culture That Transcends Physical Walls

As HubSpot transitioned into a fully remote workforce, we were challenged to take what we had learned from our remote community over the past ten years and apply these lessons in order to adapt our processes, our systems, and our culture to fit our new needs. And it worked. Moving from a 'remote friendly' to a 'remote first' world of work helped us to grow our culture for the better, focusing on people over location. But... how do you avoid creating two sub-cultures, and one that favours in office behaviours?

We will share how HubSpot is thinking about the future of work, and our approach to creating an inclusive and equitable culture for all.

Remote to the Rescue: How Virtual Jobs are Saving the World

The benefits of remote work extend far beyond casual wardrobe choices and commutes to the kitchen. In fact, the conversion of physical jobs into virtual roles can support at least 14 of the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

This presentation covers the 5 socioeconomic benefits of virtual jobs, plus the change management process we need to globally initiate to make remote work equally accessible and permanently sustainable.
