Getting real about Virtual Events: 2020 sure has been eventful

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, October 9, 2020/APO Group/ --

2020 sure has been eventful. Online platforms have proven increasingly valuable, especially in the business-to-business space, enabling more knowledge sharing, wider audience reach and networking opportunities than ever before!

Learn something new every day

Virtual events have removed the constraints of travel, parking and security check-in times, but their back-to-back volumes can make for overwhelming choice and calendar overlaps. For those that do make the effort to Zoom in, you’re usually guaranteed some form of valuable take out from the thought leadership of those that have bravely jumped into the virtual space (otherwise you’d be giving the lecture yourself).

Let’s connect virtually in Africa

As connectivity in Africa continues to grow exponentially, the boom in zoom has the potential to open up communication, networking and collaborating opportunities. Attending and promoting virtual business -to-business events widely, can only be of benefit.
