Online/virtual professional conferences have been falling into my inbox with suddenly "significantly reduced registration fees" and "extended deadlines to take advantage of new prices". You can smell the desperation. There are better ways.
If you're going to treat a remote/online conference so explicitly as a product, then you need to show (not tell) your customers what value you are providing *beyond* the normal in-person event, because you're *removing* many of the benefits of in-person.
Why are you sending e-mails about an event months away without something *already online* that potential attendees can sample? If this is going to work, it's not because everyone agrees to log on to a registration-screened WebEx session 3 months from now.
