@ShriramKMurthi Hybrid has the potential to break down information silos and bring so many more people into our research communities. But hybrid design is new and hard. One challenge: ensuring virtual attendees can have meaningful conversations like those physically present.
Re. conferences: A person who traveled 10K km to a conf got COVID. ACM policy demands they AND anyone in close contact must stay away. So a bunch had to go hybrid—including speakers.
Repeat after me: ALL CONFS (like classes) ARE NOW HYBRID. Choice: Support a priori or scramble.
@ShriramKMurthi@TheVirtualChair is running a new seminar series for academic conference organizers. The next topic is "How to Hybrid", with panel discussions from organizers who have done hybrid right (a priori, as opposed to scrambling). https://t.co/Mx3YAQDgg1
