Look at the world. Travelling is risky, costly, everything is a mess. How on earth are so many conferences still "in person" only?

The best thing about conferences is the unplanned interactions you have, which arise more naturally during in-person meetings.

I have yet to see the equivalent of a coffee break in an online conference format. There were some attempts during the covid pandemic, but they didn't work so well.

@hweimer I agree with that, but still, sometimes it's just not feasible to travel
