CreoConnect 2024 - From the Founder's Book
Discover why CreoConnect 2024 was a standout event at CreoWis and its lasting influence.
Indeed we love discussing technical matters and are encouraged to share our tech knowledge, but this one has to be different. Yes! let’s talk about our most celebrated event that we have concluded recently, CreoConnect.
Why is it important to talk about CreoConnect?
CreoWis being a startup in its infancy is as curious as any other human babies. It looks up to things with surprise, excitement, emotion, and enthusiasm to explore the new. Be it a service we provide to our customers, or a product that we incubate, the curiosity quotient always remains high.
Needless to say(but, still essential to mention), any organization, be it a small startup, midscale, or a big MNC is the collective of its people. Each skilled individual works with others in the organization to make it grow. For a remote company like CreoWis, we must not miss out on the opportunities to celebrate those individuals who are helping it to grow. Hence CreoConnect - an annual event to connect in person to know each other better, gain more trust, have fun, and understand what it takes to get things done together.
So, it is essential to talk about CreoConnect and get some insights on what went on to make it happen and how it might help us to do better in the future. If you are also a startup like us or with an entrepreneurial mindset, our learning may help you in doing something similar, or even bigger.
The Dream from Day One
In mid-2023 when my co-founder and I were digesting the fact that we will have a remote software company together, we were already dreaming about many other possibilities! One of them was celebrating work.
We didn’t have much idea of how much we would grow in a year, how big the team was going to be, and how many customers we would deal with. However, we were clear that we would have an annual event to celebrate our people, work, and achievements - that’s pretty much what CreoConnect is today. The first instalment of CreoConnect also marks the one-year completion of CreoWis with almost the same set of folks it had started with.
Before the event
The first thing we needed was a name for the event with a wish that we could repeat it on every occurrence. If you think, what’s in a name? I would say a lot. You start sinking into it, start liking it, living it. It may also create a brand for you. So, choose wisely!
In our case, it was a bit straightforward. We said, let’s poll, and we got CreoConnect.

An event like CreoConnect needs solid planning. You need to plan travels, stay, food, activities, logistics, itinerary, and many more tiny things that fulfil it. We, the founders, started the planning almost 3-4 months before to sketch out the timeline, budget, and necessities. A lot of research went into understanding what would be the “best” for all of us, or what most of us would be so proud about. Must say, we have thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting the dream closer to reality.
