Head in the 💭, but side by side // This week we’re celebrating @iacollaborative sideXside and bringing together our team for 3 days of learning, inspiration, and intentional collaboration.

Our Chicago office makes for the ideal live prototype to explore the #futureofwork with #hybrid learning seminars, case studies, and brainstorms that incorporate in-person and distributed teammates.

Because distributed doesn’t have to mean disconnected.
