On October 8th, 2025, something extraordinary happened in the metaverse.
Professionals from different industries, countries, and time zones gathered inside Alterland to celebrate the first-ever Remote Work Festival in history.

Hosted entirely in the metaverse, this groundbreaking event brought together remote workers, leaders, HR professionals, and innovators to explore one simple idea:
connection doesn't require a physical place -- only the right space.

The First Festival of Its Kind

The Remote Work Festival was more than a conference.
It was a celebration of the global remote work culture -- a moment to connect, learn, and have fun together, regardless of location.

Participants explored Alterland's virtual campus, attended inspiring keynotes from international speakers, joined networking sessions, and shared coffee in virtual cafés.
For many, it was their first experience of what immersive collaboration truly feels like --- and the feedback was clear: this is the future of remote connection.

Global Experts, Shared Vision

The event featured an exceptional lineup of international speakers:

• Dorota Sędek -- CEO and Founder of Alterland, leadership expert, and visionary behind immersive remote collaboration.
• Marta Machalska -- CEO of iPro, learning innovation expert, and pioneer of digital learning in Europe.
• Sabine Madritsch -- Digital Learning Architect and founder of mad2learn, specializing in immersive education.
• Razvan Valceanu -- Founder of The Unlearning School, exploring human resilience and VR in personal growth.
• Marcelina Przykaza -- Lawyer and psychologist, specializing in labor law, hybrid work, and workplace well-being.

Together, they discussed the future of work, learning, and leadership in immersive environments, showing how VR and AI are transforming not only technology -- but the way we build human connection at work.

Our Partners in Innovation

The Remote Work Festival wouldn't have been possible without the support of our incredible partners and patrons:
No Fluff Jobs, iPro, personaLINE, MS Industry, and Fondazione Agire -- organizations that share our belief in the future of work and the power of innovation to bring people together.

Their collaboration helped us turn a bold vision into a real, interactive experience that inspired hundreds of professionals worldwide.

What We've Learned

The festival proved that immersive technology is not the future -- it's already here.
Remote work doesn't have to feel distant. Learning doesn't have to be flat.
When people meet in environments like Alterland, something remarkable happens: presence, emotion, and engagement return.

The metaverse becomes a living workspace -- where teams can collaborate, learn, and celebrate together.

What's Next

The success of the Remote Work Festival is only the beginning.
In 2026, Alterland will continue building a global ecosystem for immersive work, learning, and community, expanding opportunities for organizations and trainers around the world.

Stay tuned for upcoming events, webinars, and virtual experiences designed to help teams rediscover what connection truly means.
