I'm disappointed that
#SQLBits2025 has removed the virtual attendance option. I understand it may be difficult to coordinate a conference both in-person & virtually, however
#SQLBits seemed to be one of the last big events in the data sphere that was providing this option. This change feels like capitulation to the "get back to the office", "no Covid to see here", "it's all a bit inconvenient to actually deal with reality rather than ignoring it" mindset. 😷
