I physically attended 24 conferences in 2019. This year I made it to three (CenturyLink, Avaya, and Cisco) before everything went virtual. I’m not certain how many virtual conferences I’ve attended this year, but it was four in October, and boy, are my arms fatigued.
Business travel is a paradox: everyone wants it, yet no one really enjoys it. Personal travel is a horse of a different color. Fun in the sun is a remedy for cabin fever, but travel just isn’t as compelling when it’s on top of full-time work obligations. I’ve spent way too many hours in airports, hotels, and windowless conference rooms.
