Flock Together: The 2026 Recap

This January, 1,400 of us gathered in Atlanta for Flock Together 2026, our fifth annual company kickoff. For a team that is primarily remote, these few days in our founding city were a meaningful chance to swap screen time for face-to-face collaboration.

The objective was clear: total alignment on our mission to build thriving communities and shape a safer future. The feedback suggests we hit the mark with 100% of attendees reporting feeling more aligned with our goals and values following the event.

Insights from Leadership

The kickoff began with a live All-Hands Meeting led by our founders, Garrett and Paige. They set the tone for the year by reflecting on our growth and hosting a candid Q&A session that addressed the specific challenges we face as we scale. It was an honest look at where we are and a clear roadmap for where we’re going.

“My first Flock Together made the mission feel more real than ever. Even though I’ve heard about how we eliminate crime plenty of times over virtual meetings, finally meeting everyone in person and standing alongside 1,400 people who are committed to making communities safer gave it a completely different meaning."

–Lauren | Marketing

Real-World Impact

We often discuss our mission, but two sessions provided a visceral look at the impact of our work:

• Solving the Brown Case: Officers from the Providence Police Department walked us through the investigation of the Brown shooting. They detailed exactly how Flock technology helped in solving the case, reminding us of the impact of the tools we build.
• A Customer’s Perspective: Chief Tracy Avelar of the Pleasanton Police Department shared her history as a long-time Flock user. Her insights into how her department’s use of our technology has evolved provided essential context for our product and engineering teams.

Cross-Functional Education

Breakout sessions were designed to break down silos and teach us about the partners we serve. Some highlights include:

• Public Safety in Practice: Brookhaven PD led sessions on self-defense and active shooter response, providing practical takeaways for personal safety and a better understanding of the environments our customers navigate.
• Business Alignment: Deep dives from Finance, Marketing, and Revenue teams ensured that every employee, regardless of department, understands our roadmap and goals for the year.
• Communication: The team learned how to use active listening and psychological principles to become more influential communicators.

“The Flock Together session with Brookhaven PD was incredibly engaging and rooted in real-world scenarios. The collaborative, hands-on approach made the experience feel meaningful, and I walked away feeling more confident, supported, and equipped with practical skills I can use right away.”

Celebrating Milestones

Beyond the sessions, we took time to recognize the people driving Flock forward. We hosted a lunch for team members who were promoted or migrated in 2025 and presented our annual Values Awards to teams who consistently set the standard for our company culture.

An Evening at the Aquarium

We wrapped up the week with a team-favorite event at the Georgia Aquarium. Having the entire venue to ourselves gave the team a chance to decompress and mingle while exploring the exhibits at one of the largest aquariums in the world.
