About this listen
Twice a year, the entire 37signals team meets up in person. This week, co-founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson talk about how these gatherings work, what they’re really for, and why the structure is intentionally loose. They share how the mix of optional hangouts and focused work sessions helps their fully remote team reconnect, recharge, and solve problems face-to-face.
Key Takeaways
- 00:14 – How 37signals approaches its twice-a-year meetups
- 01:52 – What’s required and what’s optional
- 04:09 – The deeper purpose behind bringing everyone together
- 07:51 – Finding the right blend of scheduled time and free time
- 16:37 – The limits of video calls
- 23:22 – Yes, there’s fun, but it’s still a work trip
