From Top Ten (10) Reasons To Attend Meetings Virtually in 2011:
- You need to save your institution money. Virtual attendance costs nothing e.g., no travel, accommodation or meal costs
- You need to be close to home, and close to your workplace
- You need to save time, and you have no ‘down time’ or ‘away time’
- When you want to participate in a meeting, and your schedule allows you to do so online
- Increasingly, virtual attendance is almost the same as the face-to-face (F2F) e.g., when NOT attend as required
- When you want to see supporting media for presentations, including video clips and powerpoints
- When you want to interact with your colleagues prior to, during or after event e.g., Twitter backchannel
- When you want to participate in all conference sessions BUT cannot be there in person
- Virtual presentations are green and reduce your carbon footprint
- Traveling is getting more and more complex e.g., full-body scanners
