Remote meetings
Keeping remote meetings fun
We just had a 3-day online project meeting. Originally, we would be meeting in person, but it’s been one year since COVID made its first appearence, and about 8 months since the first confinements across Europe started. This sounds like 8-months of tiring remote meetings, but actually we pretended we were outdoors and had a great time.
