We asked what you thought of the growing trend in virtual events and meetings, and your opinions on the matter are a bit divided. Most participants in the recent poll (44 percent) think virtual gatherings are a good complement to more traditional events, but 37 percent think they're less effective and pose a threat to industry jobs. Nearly 20 percent say it's too soon to tell.
Another trend in the industry (as pointed out in The New York Times last week) is the growing number of marketers who piggyback promotions and events onto trade shows—without paying to exhibit themselves. What do you think of that method? Let us know in this week's poll, in the left column of the home page.
