At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world were sheltering in place and counting on the internet to connect more than ever.
 
Engineering teams from all companies dealt with capacity levels and challenges no one has ever experienced before, and perhaps in the history of the internet. As the world adjusted to this “new normal,” teams at Facebook and Airbnb worked tirelessly to keep the work moving forward and people connected.
 
We look forward to sharing with you how some of these women led teams brought solutions to the market in record time and with great impact during a time when we all needed it the most.
 
Featuring the Portal and Marketplace Teams from Facebook and the Community Support and Homes Platform Teams from Airbnb.
