If, at the start of the year, you'd have told me that I would only attend two conferences, but present a long list of webinars and attend even more, I would have suggested you were pulling my leg. Sadly, that has been the reality of 2020 (and may well be the future, for 2021)
As a presenter, I really miss the audience interaction you can muster during a face-to-face session... this is impossible within an online/virtual webinar - especially if pre-recorded. Talking to a screen does not have the same buzz. Is it just me?
Likewise, as a webinar attendee, while I gain the information shared, I feel that we are really missing the interaction - both within the Q&A but in the face-to-face chats afterwards that a Conference encourages.
But given the current restrictions, both Governmental and Corporate, what is the future of the face-to-face conference/workshop?
