Conferences have changed.
That statement might carry a lot of sadness for some, but you don’t have to look too far to be reminded of why attending virtual events can be a very good thing.
Four of our favorite things about not traveling to conferences
- Air Travel—As a tall person, flying has never been very fun for me. The truth is after a few hours wedged into a tight seat, we’re all creaky.
Well, the plane landed. Time for everyone to stand up hunched over for ten minutes.

2. Hotel Room Coffee—Whether the coffee is too weak, too cold, or perilously close to overflowing, it’s never as good as your optimistic heart hopes it might be.
I’ve never considered myself a high class human, but I’ve never thought the bathroom in a hotel room was a good place for the coffee maker. pic.twitter.com/K3IbyozPWI

3. Conference Swag—Tote bags are handy, promotional water helps to unparch, but for the love of Pete there’s a lot of crap.
I discovered a while ago that I have a form of conference kleptomania. No mater how crappy the swag on offer, I become obsessed with acquiring every piece. If there is a branded pen or squishy ball on offer, I needs it!

4. Networking—’nuff said.
Oh boy, this is painfully true and why I nearly never network. Maybe I should throw my own awkward networking party, weirdos welcome😂 @gemmacorrell #regram #awkward #introvert #introvertproblems pic.twitter.com/loxyB2RXV1
