You can join Slack here! Access to the Slack group in Rome by Let's Meet in Rome! will be your most valuable asset while being in the city. The international community in Rome is growing every day! This Slack group aims to become the biggest community in town for every freelancer, entrepreneur, remote worker, digital nomad, immigrant, and local professional to connect, ask all your questions, join events, and find like-minded people.
