I'm ready! How do you get ready to attend a virtual conference? Me? Other than clearing some chunks of time in my calendar I have learned that one of the things that helps me simulate that in-person immersion experience of a traditional conference is to have lots of meals ready to eat. This feels a little silly to admit to but it's so true for me. As a passionate advocate for replacing some in-person gatherings with well designed interactive virtual ones I keep asking people about their experiences at both and what they miss when they attend online. I know that quality, very real connecting can be done online because I'm constantly experiencing this so I was looking for other factors. One thing I keep hearing when I probe deeper, is that going away to a conference is a stock component of corporate culture because the travel, hotel and meals feel like a perk, an endorsement of worth, and a reward that people just don't want to give up. That has made me wonder if leaders did a much better job of supplying virtual conference participants with proper appreciation for their work and then extra perks like meal deliveries while attending, would virtual conferences become more popular? What else would help people feel like they are "away" from the everyday grind and also feel valued as employees? Spa services? Housecleaning? Childcare? Please tell me if you've experienced or heard of any "instead of travel perks".
