当你不能参加行业活动加强your skills or smarts for one reason or another, webinars can be second best. We all became well acquainted with them during the peak of the pandemic, whether we liked it or not. But now that the climate is changing, are webinars still important and necessary? Absolutely! It is so easy to attend a webinar – most of the time attendees learn just as much as they would at an in-person workshop or conference, but without paying travel costs. Webinars are also a great way to explore a topic that might not be worth your company’s expense to send you to a conference, but could be worth an hour of time at your desk for free or for a nominal fee.
