Hey everyone!  Matt here from the customer education team. We have been getting a lot of questions about the best way to help new users become familiar with Miro (especially those who are less familiar with canvas tools) when running a collaborative session. In our Miro Academy course on Facilitating Virtual Workshops, we have created the video below specifically for this audience that you can send in advance of your workshop or interactive meeting. You can take the full course by logging in with any Miro account (it’s free).  I hope you enjoy and get a lot of value out of this resource! Kind regards, Matt and CEd Team  

On October 13-15, we hosted Distributed 2020 — our second annual virtual conference. This year, we brought together industry leaders and experts to help answer the burning questions on the minds of thousands of teams working remotely around the world. We had 24 information-packed presentations, interactive workshops, and panel discussions to tackle these burning questions. We were incredibly honored and excited to welcome over 30,000 registrants and hosted between 1,300 and 3,000 live viewers for each session. We’ve gathered the video recordings, visual notes, and Miro boards for each session in the blog post: Recap of Distributed: The virtual event to help teams adapt, evolve, and thrive - MiroBlog | A blog by Miro  Recordings are also available in our YouTube playlist. Remote after 2020: Remote forever, distributed, or something else?
