# Portumna Discovery Day

Portumna look a literal approach to making remote work local. Led by [Elodie Golden](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wellsenseirl/), who literally [wrote the book](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h99qfVAfThk_8_zOBylgcvTjAxbvXiAnMakliQInapU/edit#heading=h.ri15jjgyozq9) on remote work.

We love this because it directly addresses the problem with remote work - there is no local driver of this form of employment. Taking to the main street makes it visible and accessible to the local community.

Elodie used the space of a local TD, and promoted it like this on [ChangeX](https://www.changex.org/ie/growremote/loughrea-co-galway-ireland-1/events/discovery-day-grow-remote-loughrea-and-craughwell). Not only did it teach the local community about where they could find remote work, Elodie stumbled upon employers who wanted to hire remotely.
