Time as a Team Asset – Running Impactful Virtual Offsites (That Don’t Suck) with Allison McMillan

​Time as a Team Asset – Designing Engineering Gatherings That Matter

​Great leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about creating the right spaces for teams to connect, align, and make real progress. This three-part workshop series dives into the art of designing and running high-impact meetings, virtual offsites/strategy sessions, and in-person gatherings. Learn proven techniques for designing and facilitating that strengthen team and department connections, drive meaningful outcomes, and create lasting impact. Each session builds on the last, but they’re structured so you can attend individually or as a full series for a comprehensive approach to better gatherings.

​Session 2: Running Impactful Virtual Offsites (That Don’t Suck)

​Virtual offsites often get a bad reputation—but they don’t have to. When designed well, they can be a powerful way to align teams and departments, tackle challenges, and foster connection, especially when there’s no budget for an in-person gathering. This session covers how to structure and facilitate a virtual offsite that keeps energy high, ensures participation, and delivers real results (including when you have to factor in multiple timezones).
