2021 State of Virtual Events
With Covid-19 restrictions rolling back and millions of vaccines now available nationwide, marketers are eager to get back to business with some semblance of normal. However, this return to normalcy is somewhat paradoxical, because although the industry is growing restless behind its screens, work-related travel isn’t high up on to-do lists.
