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* 00:00 – Episode highlights 00:45 – How 37signals approaches its twice-a-year meetups 02:33 – What’s required and what’s optional 04:54 – The deeper purpose behind bringing everyone together 08:43 – Finding the right blend of scheduled time and free time 18:00 – The limits of video calls 25:08 – Yes, there’s fun, but it’s still a work trip *Links and Resources* Record or upload a video question for Jason and David — https://www.37signals.com/podcastquestion Get a free Basecamp account at https://www.basecamp.com Books by 37signals – https://37signals.com/books 30-day free trial of HEY – https://www.hey.com/ Once. com – https://once.com/ Campfire – https://once.com/campfire HEY – https://www.hey.com/ The REWORK podcast – https://37signals.com/podcast/ Get some REWORK podcast merch – https://37signals.com/podcast/shop *Let's be social!* Twitter/X: https://x.com/37signals Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/37signalshq/ Rework is a production of 37signals.
