The smartest thing you can do with your team’s offsite budget
- Most team offsites don’t produce lasting alignment because there’s nothing substantive at the center of them. A shared conference experience changes that.
- When teams attend Elevate together, role-based tracks let them split up by function, then reconvene with complementary perspectives instead of one person’s recap.
- Masterclasses, roundtables, and the Expert Bar are where teams do the most productive work. These sessions have limited spots and fill quickly.
- Groups of 3 or more receive 15% off the current ticket price.
Here’s a scenario most teams have lived through: you send one person to a conference. They come back with a lot of tabs open and a lot of energy. There’s a recap Slack message. Maybe a deck. A “let’s find time to debrief” that takes two weeks to schedule. And somewhere in the transfer between what they experienced and what the team hears secondhand, the most useful parts get lost.
It’s not a communication problem. It’s a presence problem. Some things only land when you’re in the room, and that’s the case for bringing your team to Elevate.
Why most offsites don’t produce lasting alignment
The team offsite has a structural problem: there’s usually nothing at the center of it. Same people, different room. A whiteboard. Good intentions. And then everyone’s back at their desks by Thursday.
What’s missing is a shared provocation — something external that gives the team something real to align around. A great conference does that. Elevate does it specifically for teams who want to understand how AI changes the way they work, not in theory, but in the day-to-day of running projects, managing cross-functional work, and hitting targets.
What changes when a team attends together
When your team shares the same keynote, the conversation afterward isn’t a debrief. It’s a working session. The framing is already shared. You’re not explaining what a speaker meant; you’re pressure-testing whether it applies to your situation.
Ellen Webb, VP of Shopper Analytics and Insights at PepsiCo, put it well:
“We tend to be siloed in our own world. It’s really good to just get outside of that and hear from other industries, other people here in this space that might have a different use case that we could draw inspiration from. Even though we’re in different industries, a lot of people have very similar challenges and problems to solve.”
That holds internally too. Two days of shared input changes what teams can do with the conversation when they get back.
How Elevate is built for teams
The practical advantage of coming as a group is coverage. Elevate’s role-based tracks mean each function can go deep on what’s relevant to them, then reconvene with a fuller picture than any one person could get alone.
The sessions where teams consistently get the most value:
- Main stage keynotes — the shared anchor for the whole group
- Expert Bar — 1:1 time with monday.com experts on your team’s specific workflows
- Roundtables — structured discussions by role and industry, with people facing the same challenges
- Masterclasses — hands-on, beginner to advanced, with 3x more options than previous years
What teams come back with
Beyond individual sessions, the lasting value is what the experience makes possible afterward:
- Shared language around AI adoption, so different functions aren’t working from different mental models
- Specific ideas to act on, pulled from hands-on sessions rather than passive content
- Cross-functional perspective, from splitting across tracks and comparing notes
- New connections with peers at other companies solving the same problems
