Benefits of the online conferences
While the obvious drawback is not being able to meet in person, having a digital conference poses numerous plus points.
The clear one to begin with is that it’s impossible to catch an infection over the internet. Aside from that, all attendees will be able to network in a general chat room.
Attendees will also gain access to content that will be useful going forward. All participants will receive emails with speakers’ presentations and video recordings.
