Virtual Conferences

Virtual conferences offer affordable alternatives to attending in-person

Trend - Virtual conferences that function as an alternative to traveling and visiting conferences in-person are on the rise, and ramping up because of COVID-19 restrictions. These conferences allow attendees to access information in a way that's more accessible.

Insight - Employees of businesses are often focused on professional growth, but attending conferences and other forms of education can be costly and time-consuming. These barriers, coupled with travel restrictions and restrictions on large gatherings around the world due to COVID-19, have made it so that attending conferences is an unrealistic goal for consumers. Thus, people focused on professional growth are prioritizing more accessible opportunities to achieve it.
Workshop Question - How is your brand working towards the professional growth of its employees?
Trend Themes

2. Immersive Technology - Immersive technology, such as virtual reality and augmented reality, offers opportunities to host conferences, job fairs and other events remotely, while providing a highly engaging and interactive experience to attendees.
3. Remote Work - Remote work has become a trend across many industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with virtual conferences and job fairs being an extension of this trend that offer advantages such as cost savings and greater accessibility.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Companies in the technology industry can explore the use of immersive technology and virtual conferences to host events and create innovative experiences for remote attendees.
2. HR and Recruitment - HR and recruitment professionals can benefit from virtual job fairs to connect with potential candidates from different locations, as well as from attending virtual conferences and training events to stay updated on industry trends and best practices.
