Why join webinars and virtual events?

As mentioned above, webinars and virtual events are a great way to stay on top of the latest trends in your industry. One of their benefits, versus face-to-face events, is that you can access a wealth of knowledge from experts around the globe, from the comfort of your own home. 

Here are some more reasons why you‘ll benefit from webinars and virtual events:

  • Webinars and virtual events are a lot easier to fit into your daily schedule. They’re short, or easy to dip in and out of 

  • You can easily find different perspectives on the same topic. Often on the same webinar. Because speakers and panelists can also join from anywhere in the world, you’ll have a variety of speakers 

  • Most webinars or virtual events are free to attend, or at least a fraction of the price of a physical event. This means you can attend more

  • Along these same lines, many of the big face-to-face events are taking it online this year. Often at a much reduced price, or free. As a result, you’ll be able to join some that you might not have otherwise been able to attend

  • Even if you can’t make the date of the live stream, you can always catch up in your own time, as most webinars and virtual events make presentations available after. Check out some of Talkwalker’s on demand webinars
