A few days ago I suggested that a conference be hybrid, but it seems that nobody supports these things anymore...

I understand that it is technically complex (well, for us a little less, since we are computer scientists), but I feel that this is the only ethical way to do things. Hybrid events are good for climate change, they allow people with little budget or health problems to participate, etc.

It's a shame there are virtually no hybrid events anymore, not even among the top conferences 😞

@FMarquardtGroup I know it's not easy. I have attended several conferences where the sound was terrible: the people who participated online did not hear anything as soon as the speaker moved away from the microphone (and they did not hear the questions from the audience either). And the people who were there in person could not understand a word of the online talks.

But in others, everything has been perfect. It's indeed possible! I guess it's a matter of will and that we all adapt a little...

@UlrichJunker @gpollara @academicchatter @FMarquardtGroup Exactly! We all agree it's not easy, but it's perfectly doable with a small investment on time and appropriate equipment... The way to go!

@HannahCelsius
There is nothing that I know of. My impression is that it was proposed from the beginning as a temporary solution and little by little people are just forgetting about it...

@SemAntiKast Ouch, I didn't know that this was being done... Yes, right, although it makes a certain sense, it is true that it can be a problem if someone wants to participate in person...

@bookmarchitect That was exactly the main reason. Technical problems and bad past experiences... The funny thing is that my area is computer science. We should be prepared for these things! 🙈
