Like many other events in the pandemic era, this year’s St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs - a gathering of distinguished diplomats, military, media and academic experts from across the globe - will be moving to the virtual world.
And while taking the event online means the nearly 2,000 attendees who’ve already signed up won’t have the same type of face-to-face interaction and socialization that have been a hallmark of previous conferences, organizers have found plenty of silver linings that they believe will bring even greater value to both conference-goers and St. Pete as a whole.
