In years past, process servers from around the country would convene for trade shows and business meetings to learn about new technology, ideas, and legislation, network with people in the industry, and attempt to gain new business. These events have proven their worth year after year, which is why hundreds flock to them. With 2020 bringing COVID-19, many event hosts are putting on virtual events to protect people from the virus and no doubt eliminate liability concerns that would go along with hosting an in-person event. Keep reading to learn why you should consider attending one of the many virtual events coming up!

Benefits of virtual events for process servers

Virtual events are an excellent opportunity to engage with the process serving community amid COVID-19 restrictions and there are a number of added benefits associated with attending a virtual event.

Low/no-cost events

Get all of the benefits of attending an event without having to open up your wallet! Virtual events don’t require the expense of travel, lodging, dining, and more that are often required when attending out of town business meetings and trade shows.

Process servers can attend on the go

Another benefit is that process servers can attend virtual events from anywhere. If they’re on the road, they can take a moment to pull over or stop in a cafe to catch the event. Process servers can attend these events and get much of the same knowledge without much interruption to their typical workday.

Attend multiple events in the same day

Many in-person events or conferences are held all over the country which makes it complicated or impossible to attend multiple events in the same day. With virtual events, process servers could attend different events in the same day when they otherwise would have had to choose one over the other.
