Three Silver Linings of Virtual Events

The pandemic changed everything, but some things changed for the better. 

One of the most valuable aspects of any professional dance studio owner event is the opportunity to grow and expand your network. Whether it’s a multi-day conference with hundreds of attendees or a half-day workshop with 20 people, connecting with dance studio owners who share similar challenges and responsibilities is a huge benefit for attendees.  

Today, that same power of community and growth is happening online through virtual events. Attending a virtual conference is a new experience for many of us that offers many new benefits. 

Virtual events: 

• Expand your network. Without travel costs, attendees can participate from almost anywhere they have internet access. You have the opportunity to listen and learn from other studio owners faced with the same challenges as you - hear how they have weathered the storm and created new streams of revenue for their dance studio business. 

• Lower your training costs. Access to industry professionals and business sessions used to cost upwards of hundreds of dollars per attendee, plus additional expenses for travel, lodging, food, etc. making them not accessible to many studio owners. By attending virtual events, you can access all the content for a small studio fee. 

• Learn on your own time. All the business sessions, speaker panelists, and other conference content will be available for a few weeks after the conference ends. So, even if you can’t attend the entire live conference, you can still benefit from the event.
