Confluence

This question is interesting enough to be answered. Well, to be honest the choice between visiting offline conferences and watching them online remains very subjective and it may definitely vary from person to person. But I being a couch-potato prefer watching the conferences and other interesting workshops online.

The very first reason is that the online conference sessions give me the opportunity to watch them without having to leave my comfort zone and let me tell you that the joy of watching live conference sessions or even the recorded ones in your shorts and tee is simply a sheer luxury and I suggest everyone to give it a try.

With the quality of digital platforms becoming better, the virtual conferences too have become catchier; I believe. The absence of other audiences around give one the chance to get more absorbed into the session. It also saves our time of travel, energy and other expenditures.

Another reason why I personally prefer the online sessions is that it gives me the chance to acquire knowledge paired with my favourite beverage; like I can sip into a cup of coffee and watch out the leaders sharing insightful ideas, knowledge and information. The charges of the workshops are also very nominal and there are convenient options to skip, rewind, pause and replay for the recorded telecasts. The conferences are not monotonous; rather are interactive. One can participate, question, message and even answer in the polls.

Video conferencing has increasingly become vital technology across the world and there is an array of online platforms available for the same purpose. In 2020, where social distancing is the mantra; online conferences have bagged more popularity than ever. It gives the scope to stay safe at home and add to your wide pool of knowledge without making any sort of compromise with your safety. In 2020, the home is your oyster and the digital platforms are your best buddies.

All you need is a laptop, good internet connectivity and a speaker or a quality head-phone and then you are all set for the session. Video conferences these days have good sound and audio quality and excellent audience interaction features. Hundreds and thousands of people can attend a session simultaneously without creating a crowd.

Select your favorite speaker and topic; hustle to remain inspired. I suggest that every individual must give this a try at-least once, if for nothing else then at-least for working upon his or her listening skills.
