The Upwork Virtual Community Hour Series is a monthly foundational event and regular check-in point for community members to connect live with each other and the Community team. The live streams will be hosted by the Community Events team and feature guests and panelists from various backgrounds. Compared to other event formats, Virtual Community Hours will be more informal and will consist of different elements and programming each month.
This is how we rise to our potential. THIS IS HOW WE WORK NOW.™
