Webinar and online conference software is OK but has some way to go before it can really rival face to face meetings – on the other hand, some of the digital conferencing apps like Whova are really effective ways to make rapid connections with attendees (virtually) who have shared interests that you wouldn’t know about if you (used to) relied on bumping into them over the morning tea break.
