Martin: you mention that you are in constant decline with workshop sign-ups. Over what period? In particular, were you seeing this decline before the pandemic started?
I have seen anecdotal data from multiple different online event organizers/presenters that, in the past few months, attendance has declined. This crosses disciplines and audiences -- weekly religious services, one-off programming trainings and presentations hosted by a for-profit platform, a conference-style speaker series, a regular meditation meetup, and so on. The explanation I'm hearing is: people are a bit overwhelmed by the quantity and duration of online events and are trying to cut down to just the essentials. -Sumana Harihareswara ------------------------------------------ This list is for the purpose of general discussion about The Carpentries including community activities, upcoming events, and announcements.
