Host Molly Wood speaks with Connie Guglielmo, editor-in-chief at CNET, about how a plurality of tech conferences have been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, and what that might mean for the tech industry. Guglielmo says that this will only allow tech companies to get creative by making the conferences more video-friendly and therefore accessible to anyone who wants to be part of them in a cheaper way. Wood also speaks with Karen Allen, a consultant to artists who livestreams on Twitch, about how artists are monetizing the platform by performing more personal concerts — only without the live audience.
