If your employer is paying, how much more runway do you have to make a decision? Given the current situation, I'd expect many companies to start cutting expenses and making excuses.

If there is a virtual training class rather than an online conference, I'd make that a priority, if the funds may disappear.

As for replacement conferences, I wouldn't assume that you'll have any certainty around those until those for some time.

That's good advice. The general hope is that things start to ramp back up for fall conference season though I'm not placing any big bets on that. A few conferences are still holding to summer plans but IMO that's very iffy especially if they're not at the very tail end.
