Can cross-disciplinary conferences improve perceived productivity?

Abstract
As the number of agritourism operations and support professionals grows around the world, and the diversity of research into the subject expands, international collaborations have become more prominent among both academics and practitioners. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a weakness in international collaboration: the reliance on in-person academic conferences as a primary opportunity for scientists to network and collaborate. A transdisciplinary, conference was hosted for the agritourism sector in 2022. In order to better understand how this emerging network might become more productive, or not, researchers surveyed attendees on their intended productivity. Results indicate that attendees were productive as a result of the conference and that there are differences across professional roles in the resulting productivity.
