Not only have virtual events been more accessible to attend, but as Chauhan points out, they’ve been more accessible to host too. “It’s opened up the attendance too, people who lived too far away or were unable to make it to the in-person event can still be a part of it via other means.” “We want to see real changes” “I’ve been amazed at how people have transferred previously real-life events to become digital events,” says Poonum Chauhan, creative director at Moon Creative and former head of design for Pride in London.
