The current pandemic has wiped out almost all scheduled physical conferences in 2020 and 2021 looks far from certain. Hosted by ConTech.Live Sami Benchekroun will talk about the role of the traditional conference model.

 

The digital transformation of science and research means if not dead, then the value of the conference has been in decline long before the current COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In this fireside chat we talk about the loss of face to face events, the consequences and how scholarly communications needs to evolve and will look very different in the years to come.
