COVID-19 has really ushered us all into an age of virtual reality. We have become attuned to doing pretty much everything virtually, to the point where it almost feels like second nature. There is certainly no substitute for an in-person gathering; but amid the Delta variant and with breakthrough cases on the rise, I believe it is important to invest our time and attention into virtual workarounds for all our business needs.

Even if COVID—in all its various forms—goes away, virtual meetings, programs and conferences are here to stay. So might as well become damn good at it!
