In-person company and industry conferences have certainly taken a hit, along with many other aspects of 'doing business' that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The good news is foundational unified communications and collaboration (UCC) and content delivery technologies already existed to make the transition from in-person to online conferences. This means that major global events such as the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show (@CES) coming up next week and SXSW 2021 (@SXSW) in March can go on…virtually. However, that doesn't mean that it has been a seamless move from in-person to online events. The digital infrastructure for these types of virtual venues needed to also scale their communication backbones quickly to support what is turning out to be the new reality for business conferences.
