The world is, for sure, not back to normal. Nonetheless, there is no denying the shift in the last two years’ protocol observed in this first quarter of 2022.
Virtual & hybrid events were a huge part of helping keep businesses alive in the last couple of years. Even so, they are far from perfect. Lack of engagement and direct networking opportunities are some of the challenges virtual and hybrid events could still improve on.
Creating rapport, meeting people, and making live connections are advantages of in-person events. Hence, the timid but noticeable trend of simply getting together.
Here are some of the best opportunities for networking in person in 2022.
