Conferences that Work

JUNE 21, 2021

Right now, I am a long distance facilitator. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I only facilitate meetings of people who are not the same room. Often, they are thousands of miles away.

Consumers with Zoom fatigue were first drawn to the audio-only concept while stuck at home during the pandemic, and the market for it has been booming ever since. Different from podcasts, which are recorded for future listening, social audio is about real-time, moderated conversations that allow listeners to actively participate.

While event organizers are getting good at planning in-person, hybrid and online events, booking the right speakers and keeping attendees engaged are still some of the biggest challenges. With online events especially, attendees can get distracted by looking at their phones or trying to multitask during presentations.
