In Convene‘s August issue, we explore why more people than ever are working out of the office. The number of telecommuters has doubled over the last decade, and numbers are particularly strong in  the meetings and events industry, where frequent travel is often a fact of life.

Editor in Chief Michelle Russell, who works from a home office, as do all five Convene editors, offers three ways to maximize the benefits of telecommuting.

– Videoconference with colleagues
– Get out of the house regularly
– Over communicate

Bonus: Michelle introduces one of her favorite things about working from home.
