This was a great read. I think what's going to be interesting to observe after the dust settles is events are going to be online by-default.

Not necessarily as insurance against a global pandemic, but rather due to the expansive reach that many event organizers are realizing.

I don't think offline events are going away, but (as the author alludes to) the incentives to attend online vs offline events are different; therefore it won't be a 1:1 experience. I don't think anyone in the event/event technology space actually figured out the secret formula to provide a great online AND offline experience for both the event organizer & attendees/vendors, but once someone does I think there's great opportunity to capture.
