About COnvert.com

Convert.com, a fully distributed company with a global workforce, faced a unique challenge. They needed to organize a Working Session in a location that would bring together their diverse team into a cohesive and productive environment.

The requirements were clear: ample meeting spaces, a nice location, and accessibility for their distributed team (with a plethora of passport restrictions). OnsiteHub stepped in as a trusted partner to provide a seamless solution that not only met but exceeded these expectations.

The Challenge: Organizing a Global Team in One Location

Convert.com holds a yearly all-hands meeting along with several Working Sessions to facilitate knowledge exchange and team collaboration. The challenge for this particular Working Session was to find a venue that offered ample meeting spaces while maintaining an intimate atmosphere. The venue also needed to be easily accessible for a globally distributed team with multiple visa restrictions.
