  COVID-19 resulted in some dramatic cost saving changes. One of the most obvious is the way conferences were organized and will likely be organized going forward. Though a number of international many conferences were cancelled and events were called off before of COVID-19, many others held. In addition, the number of seminars, training, meetings, teachings that now goes on online is unprecedented.
