I've participated in 3 Global Virtual Design Sprint events and they’ve helped me go from a brand new professional getting familiar with Design Sprints to a confident Facilitator and practitioner to teach and take client projects remotely.

Robert and the community around the GVDS have been an invaluable support to become a better professional and to meet incredible people that have also become great friends, colleagues, and partners in new projects.

Whether you consider yourself an online master facilitator or a very experienced sprinter, I really recommend joining the GVDS to gain the confidence and experience to start your next design sprint in your company or business.

The Global Virtual Design Sprint offers a unique opportunity for professionals from around the world to come together and sharpen their sprint facilitation skills in a real-time, collaborative environment. Participants learn by doing, working through genuine challenges alongside peers from diverse backgrounds and industries. This hands-on approach builds confidence and competence, transforming newcomers into capable practitioners who can lead remote design sprints with ease. The supportive community provides ongoing encouragement and shared knowledge, helping each individual grow at their own pace while contributing to the collective expertise of the group. Many return event after event, drawn by the camaraderie and the chance to refine their craft.

Beyond the practical skills gained, the Global Virtual Design Sprint fosters meaningful connections that extend far beyond the event itself. Participants regularly find themselves building lasting professional relationships with facilitators, designers, and subject matter experts they meet during each sprint. These connections often lead to future collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and partnerships on new projects across different time zones and cultures. The shared experience of tackling complex challenges together creates a strong bond among attendees, forming a global network of like-minded practitioners who continue to support one another long after the event concludes. This sense of community is what sets the experience apart from traditional training programs.
