Last week I went to 5 work events . And there’s a reason for why I go to so many

Even though our company is fully remote in 40 countries, and has been so from the beginning, I believe that meeting in person creates deep connections that can’t be replaced with zoom calls

Hotjar | by Contentsquare’s event who gathered hundreds of marketers in Manhattan was all centered on this theme

Getting out of our phones and forming new friendships

I can see why they themed it this way

I met Nicole Gottselig who masterminded the theme and she was the perfect representation of it. Making sure everyone was taken care, everyone could feel the warmth and the connection

Mohannad Ali the CEO at Hotjar who I known for a while has a similar drive . Making sure to have a supporting word for those around and can connect with the community around him

In addition the conference name was very aligned with our hot spice “Hotjar” and I was surrounded by pepper names and hot sauces

So couldn’t help but being inspired to create our own user conference too!

For those that have created one would love to hear what to do and what not to do. And most importantly - where and where to organize ??

"What an absolute honour it has been working alongside Nicole at Hotjar. Our collaboration in the brand team showcased her exceptional ability to create impactful content that resonates with people. From producing engaging organic pieces to hosting Hotjar's first podcast, Nicole's storytelling skills and empathetic approach make her a standout contributor.

Nicole's journey extended to the growth team, where she spearheaded webinars, connecting with industry leaders and driving significant brand growth. Her genuine and empathetic nature not only enriches our team dynamics but also enhances her connections within the tech community.

It's been such a pleasure getting to know Nicole both on a professional and personal level over the past two years. Her creativity, dedication, and interpersonal skills make her an invaluable asset to any team.."

"Nicole's title is Content Marketing Manager, but she's so much more than that.

At internal events and at our first product conference, HOTSAUCE, Nicole was the pulsating heart and soul of the experience.

One might engage Nicole for a simple proofreading task; she'll be quick and efficient, elevating your copy to a much more polished level.

But after that, her outstanding connecting skills will bring her to connect the task with a thousand of other possible projects, ideas for improvement, cutting-edge formats that no one has tried before. And you'll end up with a webinar series with thousands of followers; new blog rubrics that place your product at the forefront of your industry; internal events that boast unthought-of experts and a warm, engaging, unforgettable atmosphere.

Nicole is one of those rare people that make you wish you took leaps of trust much more often!."
