As the global Covid-19 pandemic continues, remote working is becoming the new business normal.

The necessities of conducting day-to-day business operations remotely are educating large swathes of the public in the use of virtual meeting platforms. In addition, the infrastructure underpinning virtual meetings is rapidly expanding and being adopted by both individuals and enterprises.

This shift to a more flexible working and meeting culture is unlikely to completely fall away once we emerge from the current pandemic; we expect to see more companies embracing hybrid or virtual annual general meetings on a go forward basis.
