Unmanned Aerial Vehicle The latest drone news
Virtual drone shows offer some great advantages for attendees. They’re less expensive; they don’t require travel; and they provide a more flexible format than an in-person show. They’re still offering great speakers and sessions. But who will actually attend? We asked our follwers in a DRONELIFE Minute Survey if they’ll still be going to the shows they usually attend – or if they might go to more of them now that they don’t involve a plane ride.
We asked our followers one question: Will you be attending virtual drone shows this year? Here’s what respondents to our survey said.- Absolutely. Cheap & Easy: 35.7%
- Yes, but more selective: 35.7%
- No, Taking a pass: 28.6%
While some people will be taking a pass this year until they can meet and greet in person, the vast majority will be going to at least some of the events.
Virtual drone shows do limit the element of serendipity – running into just the right contact while you’re in line at Starbucks is definitely a plus. Given the reduced prices and the reduced need for travel, however, it’s possible that many shows will attract an even more international audience – and the breadth of connections may be even wider. Attendees willing to put in the effort to join the discussions may find that this year’s shows offer a whole new set of benefits.
