Why do conferences and industry events matter?
If you are a Digital Marketing player, you should understand that conferences are crucial for the industry. Such events provide a great opportunity to network. No matter whether you are an organizer, a participant, or just a visitor, they might deliver a lot of benefits to your business.
Some small business owners think that they are too busy with “more important” tasks, that consider attending these events as a waste of time. But they even don’t want to take into account that most of their “more important” issues can be solved by meeting the right people or getting the right ideas at such conferences.
Participants and attendees of Marketing Events are not only like-minded people but also industry-leading professionals from all over the world, such as Digital Marketers, SMM Managers, Project Managers, SEO Specialists, Data-driven Journalists, IT Specialists, etc. Attending conferences gives you an opportunity to find business partners, connect with influencers and target audience, establish or create meaningful relationships.
Conference speakers are usually experienced and highly-skilled professionals who have already achieved success. It means that attending the events gives you a chance to learn essential things about the industry, current trends, pain points, etc., as well as to get some fresh ideas and solutions for your business.
Moreover, participation in conferences can help you gain a reputation with peers and customers.
The last but not the least, you may have some fun and enjoy speaking to like-minded people and make friends. Business is all about communication, but it does not particularly mean that this communication must always be formal. A lot of great ideas were generated and a lot of great deals were closed during informal conversations.
What is happening today?
Even being involved in the Digital World, a lot of Marketers prefer to hold face-to-face conferences and events. Perhaps, it seems more engaging, interactive and influencing. However, others choose online events, emphasizing that they are less time-consuming and more affordable. Both online events and face-to-face meetings have their pros and cons. But it’s not our today’s topic, because current circumstances have taken their toll.

Some of them have been postponed, some have been canceled. It couldn’t but affect World’s Marketing Events, especially face-to-face ones.
