What Is The TRaD Works Forum?

First, we’re thrilled to say that The TRaD Works Forum is a hot ticket! Recruiter.com says The TRaD Works Forum is one of the top 10 HR and Recruiting Conferences for 2017!

More specifically though, The TRaD Works Forum is the premier event focused on the important business opportunities and challenges surrounding Telecommuting, Remote, and Distributed work (hence, the TRaD acronym).

As TRaD work is indisputably becoming more and more of a reality with the saturation of mobility, cloud-based technologies, and–quite honestly– the Millennial generation as a majority of the workforce, it’s vital for companies to proactively evaluate how TRaD work options can increase their organization’s productivity and profit margins. The TRaD Works Forum is all about creating a community event for the companies who are at the forefront of this reality, as well as for those keenly interested to learn how they can advance their organization’s telecommuting, remote, and distributed work efforts.

The TRaD Works Forum will redefine traditional work by facilitating and inspiring conversations between leaders of Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing virtual companies, and “future of work” thought leaders. Not only will discussions review the opportunities, benefits, and challenges pertaining to telecommuting, remote, and distributed teams, the conversation will also be focused on the tactical and actionable frameworks teams use to scale up and optimize their initiatives. We will also be hosting an excellent lineup of speakers, interesting and practical panel discussions, and interactive workshops where attendees can share their remote work stories, technologies, and best practices. Our goal is for attendees to come away with real, cutting edge insights they can deploy at their organizations as well as a network of leaders and influencers they can reach out to along their TRaD work journey.
