Should You Attend Business Conferences?
Business conferences are about exposing people to new information in a particular industry and staying up to date with your industry trends. However, during the past decade, we have seen a steady decline in how many companies attend business conferences. There are a few reasons for this decline:- Search engines and websites have provided most companies with the tools they need to research and present their offerings, without needing to leave the company
- There’s no need to wait for an annual show to familiarize yourself with the latest developments in an industry. You can now get updates in monthly or weekly newsletters, or even RSS feeds from a reliable source
- Social media sites and online forums have made it easy to build online communities where contacts can meet and exchange information—whether through webinars, chats or virtual conferencing.
- Investing in travel costs, exhibition costs, and time needs to be justified. The recent economic downturn has thus discouraged many companies from sending individuals to attend business conferences.
- On top of everything, the events of 9/11 introduced many long and tedious security procedures. Traveling by plane is no longer as convenient and many do not feel as comfortable as before with flying to attend conferences.
