In early 2020, coronavirus changed the way that many people worked. Out went face-to-face interaction, and in came remote meetings and working from home. Big conferences and events were cancelled or became virtual, almost overnight. We all suddenly had to learn new skills in attending and presenting at remote meetings.

For many people, this has been a huge opportunity. It has meant not having to travel for work, removing stress. Some may have been asking to work remotely for some time, and have embraced this experience, and the additional flexibility it has offered.

It seems unlikely that we will ever fully return to a world where we only hold business meetings face-to-face, or where so many people work from offices in the centre of cities. We were already edging towards an understanding that not all business travel was necessary. This means, however, that knowing how to run and present at remote meetings and conferences has now become an essential skill.
