Episode Notes

This week Nick and Danny talk about the future state of conferences and large events. 

Nick offers a number of quotes of the week contenders alongside some great (& strong) opinions around what conferences were, why they aren’t going to be what they were and why the future state is going to be different 

Nick and Danny discuss: 

• Are in-person conferences coming back in 2021 / 2022?
• Did the old conference work for anyone other than the organiser?
• Who did great things with events and online panels in the lockdown?
• The conference economics & secret: Price of entrance (high) x location x venue size (cram as many in as possible) & space x speaker quality x speaker logos x number of conferences = decent business
• What “Physical exclusivity, digital inclusivity” is going to mean
