Attending online community events like the GDGoC Onboarding Session offers great convenience and accessibility, allowing participants from anywhere to connect, learn, and collaborate without the barriers of distance or cost. However, it can sometimes feel less engaging than in-person events due to limited face-to-face interaction and distractions from one’s environment. To make the most of online sessions, I try to stay active in chats, participate in discussions, and network through follow-up platforms. Overall, virtual events are a flexible and inclusive way to build connections and gain knowledge when approached with focus and enthusiasm.
