What is it? -- Multiple team meetings, happening in the same city, at the same time + some opportunity to get together as one big group as well as with other teams as it makes sense. Then, on the last day, we have a fun social event for all, Mozilla-style!
The information on this wiki primarily applies to Full time and contractor staff. If you are a volunteer contributor or intern, please inquire to your coordinator.
Dates and Location
Monday, June 17 - Friday, June 21, 2019 (travel days are Monday the 17th & Saturday the 22nd) in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.
We are staying at nine hotels in Whistler Village. We will have meetings at the Whistler Conference Center and two hotels.
*For those countries where rest time is required on weekends (vs. work travel), Mozilla will cover a return on the next available work day, if you choose. This needs to pre-approved and pre-arranged.
Registration
This is an invite-only event. All full time and Upwork employees are expected to attend this all company event. Contractors, Vendors and seasonal employees are included on a case by case evaluation based upon team needs.
Advance registration is required. Attendees will need to wear their event badge at all times, including to evening events. We will have security at our events who will be ensuring everyone in our space should be there.
New Hires
We have a process to identify new hires each Monday and will invite them to book travel. No action necessary from managers other than to let them know about the event. Please work closely with your recruiting manager as they are aware of all deadlines.
All new hires must have a start date of May 31 or earlier and able to register/book travel by May 13.
Immigration
It is important to look into your entry requirements early as some may need to schedule an in-person biometrics appointment. You can check here to see whether you require only a valid passport, an eTA, or a visa to enter Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp
If you do need a visa you can request a visa invitation letter during registration.
Those who have committed certain legal infractions are not allowed to enter Canada (known as “inadmissible” under Canada’s immigration law). Check here to see if you might be "inadmissible" (you could be turned away at the border if you are inadmissible, so best to know ahead of time!): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/index.asp and http://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the-inspection-experience/prior-criminal-offenses/crossing-canadian-border-with-a-dui/#.VThVDRfnfVp
