☁️What’s on my mind
Have you noticed there are not as many free online meetings, webinars, and similar events as when we were deeply in lockdowns? I have since I’ve been publishing quite a few of them in this newsletter.
Does this mean we’re going back to normal? Probably not. Free online events are converting to paid webinars. I think what’s happening is that organizers would like to be properly compensated for their efforts.
We were in a free-education-for-all mode for over a year. Let’s move on.
Have a nice week.
