During this crazy COVID time we still need to learn and improve. Professional development is essential, that’s why more and more conferences are becoming virtual and going online. You can now access conferences in other parts of the world from the comfort of your own working space AND in many cases prices have been reduced.
Below (and attached) is a list of elearning conferences from January to June 2021. You need to do your own research and check the conference details (including quality, speakers, activities, etc.) and whether it is available by distance or if you need to attend in person. Things change frequently so make sure to do your own research. With the current climate it’s possible that some conferences will be cancelled.
How to find a conference?
Use CTRL + F (Find) to search key words. A key word could be location, topic, dates, etc.
Peruse the list and then check out what might offer you the best learning and development. Enjoy!
Thanks to Clayton R. Wright for putting together the list. If you have a conference to add contact Clayton at: crwr77 at gmail.com.
