I like Storytelling, Light, and Outer Space.

@tojulius In some ways the joy of an event is that it isn’t a community but just a moment.

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@tojulius @NorthstarMeets @cvent Or is this just saying the task of planning virtual events is going to a different function in organizations?

Will virtual events be the domain of event planners or marketers or culture/community?

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@tojulius I wonder if they are all correct? Maybe this will help create some differentiation/specialization in the event tech world which would benefit everyone

@ScienceLance Chance to win a friend?? Definitely filling out your survey

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

The "chance to win a gift card" is the opposite of an incentive for me to fill out a survey

I’ve stopped reading threads on twitter and here’s why 👇🏻

@tojulius Listen on vinyl at home (watch a prerecorded YouTube video), see a show when my favorite band is in town (small, local, in-person), or attend a festival and discover something new (out of town conference).

@tojulius Compelling comparison. I am thinking about music as a comparison too. Such a variety of ways to engage with the scene and community.

@tojulius I think the learning was virtual 3D environments presented in a 2D medium/display was what people reacted to so negatively. 3D environment in a 3D medium of VR might be different.

@tojulius I think we even have to throw out the 2020 binder too

@miguelseven Primary question: What links in my chain can fail and in what ways?

Then for each of those plan a desired 'fix' and the communication required to organizer and to the audience.

I will email our template over to you as well.

@lawrencecoburn I turn it off and enjoy the break from video calling

@VaxPmo @chicagosmayor What % of currently unvaccinated Chicagoans are getting their first shot per day?

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@EricTopol How does number of shots vs remaining population unvaccinated compare over this time period? Meaning: how does the trend of ‘% of non-vaccinated people getting their first shot’ look in the recent weeks?

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@HillmanEvents @atnguyen @lindsaythecmp @EPBreakShit Agree this a key question. And I’m not sure they really need/want anything beyond the basic. Production values definitely matter but we haven’t seen demand (from the attendees) for advanced features in a platform. But tons of demand for ease of use.

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@tojulius @Swapcard I wonder how this balance between virtual/hybrid/face to face looked in Jan 2020? Are we in The Great Inversion of Events from in-person to virtual? Or will the pendulum swing back to 2019 approaches by 2022?

[Adam McCarthy @AdamMcCee]

@atnguyen This is a great theory and being an oldest child can confirm I fit in that category
