Shopify has been a fully remote company for a few months now. https://financialpost.com/technology/shopify-is-joining-twit...

We're not using zoom, but google meet - but yes, these happen completely online now.

I find that people that are doing interesting stuff often _want_ to talk about it. However, a big part of Shopify culture is "do things, tell people" - it is definitely encouraged to spend time spreading context.

It's not directly part of any rewards framework, but one metric that goes into promotions is the area of impact. By giving a talk to the guild, you can have impact on a group that's larger than your team, potentially the whole organization. It counts.

But another reward is the positive feedback, interesting discussions and new connections that you make through this.
