Meeting people face to face is insanely valuable. Here is one example from personal experience. I met someone at a conference in Silicon Valley years ago. Later on I’m doing research for a project and trying to find subject matter experts to lead the effort. In my research I find 15 people who are qualified. Two respond to my attempts to contact them. One dismissed me and the other is that person I met at that conference. He tells me that the only reason he’s talking to me still is we met at the conference. We started working together and it’s been a fruitful endeavor. The moment in person conferences are safe again they will explode. Everyone will want to see other people again,
