I was reading recently how a trade-show that was supposed to take place this month with a regular in-person event has been cancelled which means any company who was planning to use the venue as a way to showcase their products will have to do it online. From the sounds of it, this is mostly due to things such as travel restrictions that make it harder to attract a full house. So they decided to make it an online showcase.
It almost sounds like if you want to conduct some kind of event that requires a global audience it’s just safer to make it an online event huh? In some ways people have gotten used to it where it will probably take another year or so before in-person events will gradually become normal again in many places. That must be a lot of risk financially as well. Imagine having to book out a space for thousands of dollars just to cancel the event at the last minute. The building owner will still want to be paid too.
