Online testing events are nothing new, but these days they seem to spring up like mushrooms after the rain π Just turn on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and you wonβt have to look far to find an event that is up and running π Especially during these challenging times, it is probably the best way to continue having events or conferences without compromising anyoneβs safety.
Even though it’s virtual, you still get a chance to e-meet new people with similar interests and engage with special guests that you might not have otherwise had the chance to see π But most of all, the cool thing is that you can participate in such professional events from the comfort of your own space β yes, that means with snacks and in your PJs! π
This is definitely a whole new era for communities to come together and connect, but it’s also important to keep in mind that these events are remote and lack the familiarity of face-to-face in-person conferences… Thus, the right approach should be used to make sure the content is delivered to attendees in a valuable manner, and provide an experience that they can’t stop talking about π¬
