Name: Social Distanced Working - Adapting to Change: a panel event with FinTrU
Start: 2020-08-21T12:30:00+01:00
End: 2020-08-21T13:30:00+01:00

Covid-19 has transformed the way we work; from having conference calls with our pets as guests, virtual coffees and perhaps juggling with homeschooling. With lockdown restrictions easing, join Women Who Code and panelists from the Technology team at FinTrU as we reflect on how we have adapted to this change, the challenges we have faced, and the lessons we have learned to take us forward.

This event will be a lunchtime event, so bring your lunch and join us for some great socially distanced conversation! We'll be using Zoom for the session and the Q&A functionality for questions, it will be super informal and a great way to kick off your weekend 🥳
