The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the meeting industry hard in 2020. That year, emergency measures and travel restrictions implemented globally during the health crisis caused most events to be rescheduled, canceled, or held digitally. According to a 2021 study focusing on international association meetings worldwide, 48 percent of all meetings on technology were held virtually in 2020. Meanwhile, around 32 percent of events on education and 26 percent of meetings with medical science subject matter were virtual.
