Miro pioneered the collaboration market with its online whiteboard back in 2011 (as RealtimeBoard). Early adopters quickly got the benefits of getting together in front of PC screens and collaborating as if they were in the same room, but had trouble defining how to use it for work every day; or, what’s possible, and what’s not? As the solution was completely new, we joined those early enthusiasts in an exciting journey to establish online whiteboarding practices.
Time has passed, whiteboard fans grew to millions of users worldwide, and the use cases for our visual workspace have grown far beyond the horizons we could imagine nine years ago:
- virtual workshops across 15 timezones and engaging virtual conferences,
- virtual offsites and farewell parties,
- quarterly PI planning with 120 people not needing to travel;
- facilitated brainstorming sessions where everyone is remote and more.
Many customers became real experts in integrating Miro into their marketing, design thinking, and scrum practices. So we decided why don’t we let you learn from these time-tested professionals and create a trustworthy expertise hub to search for help, get the most innovative knowledge, or get inspired.

Why work with Miro Experts
Consult with the best Miro facilitators while learning the product
Your team expectations on the upcoming remote workshops are high. At the same time, you don’t feel 100% comfortable on the agenda or toolkit. Consult or even hire Miro Experts to facilitate your next meeting, learn the best practices, and get simple guidelines on how to move forward.
Example: Limelights are professional facilitators of change for groups of 25 to 1,000 people, and one of the recent online workshops for 180 people using Miro was a huge success.
The feedback we received was just fantastic. In comparison to a face-to-face conference, it’s a lot more inclusive: even the more introvert people are joining, and no idea gets lost.

Bring your offline skills online
The world wasn’t prepared for 2020. But consulting firms adapted as quickly as possible and offered the new virtual experience to well-known routines.
Example: Abracademy organizes virtual offsites in Miro and creates online magical moments with teams.
What I most appreciated was that this workshop journey kept true to delivering one key message – about how wonder can be created within the constraints (or possibilities) of online spaces.
