Miro Distributed is back for its fourth year to explore the power of human connection in a digital-first world

The annual user conference, driven for and by the Miro Community, will feature a variety of content designed to help teams connect, collaborate, and drive innovation within their organization

SAN FRANCISCO and AMSTERDAM, Nov. 2, 2022 — Miro® the online platform accelerating innovation through visual collaboration, will host Distributed, its annual user conference, on November 15 - 16. The all-virtual event will explore how to foster better human connection and collaboration in an increasingly digital world through a variety of sessions led by product designers, founders, engineers, creative directors, workshop facilitators, agile coaches, evangelists, and prominent authors. 

Miro Distributed is designed to harness the power of the company's diverse Community. Last year's event included nearly 8,000 attendees from 103 different countries, all coming together to share big ideas, challenges, provocations, and solutions. Miro is making Distributed '22 bigger and better than ever before, with interactive and collaborative sessions, product reveals, thought leadership, education, and networking opportunities.

"Over the last couple of years, the world of work that we've known for a generation has been broken and disassembled. Right now, teams are coming together to pick up the pieces and forge better ways of working together, deeper work relationships, and a stronger sense of humanity and purpose in the work we do," said Paul D'Arcy, Miro's Chief Marketing Officer. "At Distributed, we'll turn to our community of users and teams to understand the human side of work from their perspective – exploring how expectations and needs shifted, how organizations are working to foster connections and engagement via technology, and how we blend old and new practices for a hybrid future."
