Virtual conferences vs in person. What actually works for you?

[ElizabethRule]

With LocalU Global coming up on January 28, I’m curious how people here feel about virtual conferences compared to in person events.

• What do you genuinely like about virtual conferences?
• What frustrates you or causes you to disengage?
• And what do in person events still do better in your experience?

LocalU Global is fully virtual again this year and is leaning into live Q&A, hot seats, and interactive formats, so it feels like a good time to talk about what makes a virtual conference worthwhile for local SEOs.

Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who has attended both virtual and in person events recently.
