How Automattic works across 20 countries with 95 employees

John Ford will be joining us all the way from North Carolina, USA to share his experience with working at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, VaultPress, Polldaddy and many other great brands.

There are a number of benefits and challenges in a distributed work environment. At Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, nearly 100 employees interact on a daily basis while living all around the world. The heart of the operation is fueled by constant communication and open source tools that help build awesome products.

We’ll look at how the Automatticians work on a day-to-day basis, the tools they use, and ways to collaborate on projects when you’re not in the same location as your colleagues.
