I wonder if there’s going to be a “virtual tech winter” after we defeat the pandemic.

Yes, we believe there will be a "changing of season" post-Covid, however, as a result of event organizers being forced to switch to virtual events for the past year and a half, our customers have learned the value of hosting events on Venu. 1) Wvent organizers can sign up high profile speakers and exhibitors in a matter of weeks rather than months because attendees do not have to fly, book hotels, or take time out of office, which means higher sales for the event organizer and higher quality conference for the attendees with more quality attendees. 2) We are working with our customers now to organize "hybrid" conferences as well as organizing our own in San Francisco once Covid is over. Having an expo with hundreds of booths virtually and speakers from all around the world speak and network virtually is a proven win for Venu over in-person trade shows. However, networking dinners, happy hours at bars, and on-site tours with silicon valley tech companies are still a great value add of an in-person conference.
