[Remote Year] Remote Nation Meetup in Lima
This past weekend, Remote Year (the overhead staff) organized the first Remote Nation — a meetup of all the current Remote Year groups.
Luckily, the 3 active groups are all in South America at the moment, so about 150 people were able to attend. RY1 is currently in Lima, for what is now their last week of their Remote Year, RY2 Battuta (that’s me!) is in Cusco, Peru (the last month of our South America leg), and RY3 is in La Paz, Bolivia (their itinerary is essentially following RY2 a month behind). We had to cover our transportation to the event, but from there RY had hotels + conference center + events lined up.
Remote Nation was definitely one of the more professional-focused and best events we’ve had thus far on RY. I hope it inspires us as individual communities to do more of these kinds of activities as the people who participated really enjoyed learning and skillsharing with each other.
My original essay is now published in Remote Year’s publication, Go Remote, so head over to read my post about the Remote Nation Meetup in Lima. I breakdown the weekend’s events + discuss the various sessions I attended:
- Launching a Business on Remote Year
- How To Blog Good (and Do Other Stuff Good Too)
- Welcome & Thank You from Team RY
- Come Get the V(ideography)
- Fixer Upper: Website Edition
- Food for Thought
Through the weekend’s events + networking opportunities, I was able to meet some incredible people that I am already learning from and excited to follow + hopefully cross paths with again.
