Teams | Collaboration | Customer Service | Project Management

This November, we held our annual conference, Distributed ’22, where we shared solutions for collaborating, creating, and innovating in an increasingly digitized and distributed world of work. We also announced some pretty exciting product updates — including Talktrack, Interactive Presentation Mode, and integrations for YouTube, Looker, and Confluence — which will create even better spaces for teams to collaborate and enable new ways of working.

As this year winds down, you may be eager to begin or continue planning for the next one. It’s an exciting time that’s filled with brainstorming, bold ideas, and big dreams as you and your team enthusiastically identify all of the possibilities for the coming year. But you also know that you need to balance all of that ambitious fantasizing with some intention, strategy, and organization.

After a year spent working hard and tackling goals, your team deserves a chance to kick back and celebrate. And holiday parties are opportunities for people to connect outside of the demands of their daily to-do lists and loosen up for a little bit of fun together. Fortunately, you don’t need to be co-located to let the good times roll.

As we more deeply explore new ways of working we are talking with, listening to, and learning from our customers. And what we are learning from everyone we speak with — be it product designers, HR leaders, or consultants — is that you cannot overstate the importance of connection. Without creating clear pathways and deep integrations between teams and tools, we are holding ourselves back from reaching our true potential. So we, like you, are iterating.
