Coming Together and Building Connection<\/b><\/h2>\n

Roblox Week embodies our <\/span>future of work<\/span> approach, bringing the company together at key moments to support organic connection, collaboration, and innovation. For many people, this was an opportunity to meet new team members for the first time in person, or get re-connected with colleagues that they had not seen for awhile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first-ever Roblox Week brought together nearly 1,500 Robloxians from around the world to connect and collaborate in person,\u201d <\/span><\/i>said Barbara Messing, Chief People Experience and Marketing Officer.<\/span> \u201cThe positive energy throughout the week was tangible, and our teams left feeling inspired, aligned, and ready to continue innovating.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where We\u2019re Headed<\/b><\/h2>\n

During Roblox Week, groups came together for on-sites and team building. We also had a special Town Hall at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, CA where our executive team talked about our exciting innovations and the ambitious technical roadmap that will help us deliver on our vision to reimagine how people come together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Employees<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>To cap off the events, Robloxians gathered for a summer picnic to recharge and celebrate with colleagues. Employees enjoyed a Friday afternoon filled with food, drinks, and fun before closing out the week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can go out there and envision something completely novel, something that\u2019s never been done before, and then go make it happen and make it happen in a way that\u2019s completely consumable by our community,\u201d<\/span><\/i> Roblox CTO Dan Sturman shared. <\/span>\u201cWe need to continue to respect the community and particularly apply that internally. We have the ability to come together and do bigger things.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
