DESCRIPTION:Virtual conferences (conferences that are completely online) an
 d hybrid conferences (with a mixture of in-person and online attendees) ha
 ve become popular since the start of the Covid pandemic. But the new confe
 rence modes are not just a pandemic stopgap - they can also be an opportun
 ity to start new conferences at low cost or to broaden the participation o
 f existing conferences.\n\nEach community has a different approach on the 
 future of their conference portfolios. New conferences can start as virtua
 l and move to other models as the community grows. To improve the experien
 ce\, it is useful to add events that mimic what is missing from in-person 
 conferences\, such as mentoring sessions\, online games\, coffee breaks\, 
 and an opportunity to meet a community superstar.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jyotika A
