I have been to no less than 4 web hosted live stream conferences in the last 2 weeks. I have to be honest, I love them. While I know that in person attendance is always ideal, we don’t always have the resources wether it be time, fiscal or otherwise to be at all of the events we’d like to be.
I can tell you that without the distractions of travel, day to day demands and general creature comforts – live event streaming is the way and the truth. You have access to all of the valuable information available with out the high ticket price and awkward interactions at the vendor booth. I mean not for me, I’m in sales but for everyone else, probably a little bit yes.
I’m able to churn out my regular work load while having speakers rattle off facts in the background around the future of AI and increases in productivity by leveraging specific strategies that we’ve known all along work but somehow they’re getting paid 20k to tell us again. Big fan! Occasionally when the gold nugget of information comes across I jot it down quickly and get right back into my work flow, I can think of nothing better.
Perhaps we’ll start listing some here that are recommended but I’d be interested to hear from any followers about your favorites? Being a Hubspot lifer, I’m afraid I’ll never NOT attend an inbound conference and did travel to the bay for Dreamforce last year (2023) but I’m curious what everyone else enjoys outside of the mainstream.
