Conferences. When you hear this magic word you instantly imagine crowds of chatting people, panel discussions with experts, important speakers presenting the latest industry trends. Professionals in any sphere consider offline events as a great opportunity to network, find out more about new technologies, pitch their projects, etc. Participation in an industry conference is a worthy investment. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic a lot of events either were put to pause or 'went' to an online format. I took a part in a couple of these 'used-to-be-offline' trade shows and, imho, it is not as effective as an 'face-to-face' format. Apart from the official part, any conference also offers opportunities for networking. Evening cocktail reception is a great time for establishing valuable contacts and talk business over a glass of wine or cup of tea (whatever you prefer:)) Being a sales professional in an online travel and aviation segment, I took part in numerous trade shows and can confidently say that they are marked as 'must visit' in my calendar! My favourite ones are conferences organised by ato comm and, of course, the legendary ITB Berlin And which events are your favourites?:) #conference #tradeshow #aviation #networking #onlinetravel
