Second this--just "returned" from IEEE VR's first virtual conference, initially intended to be held in-person in Atlanta. Socializing in Mozilla Hubs worked very well for people connecting by desktop (the majority) and headsets. You can read more about the format here: http://ieeevr.org/2020/ The conference was conducted via Zoom, Slack, and Hubs, with almost everything also streamed through Twitch. It was very engaging, all things considered.

I just streamed my first one out of there. If you go towards the end you'll see where we break up into groups. Distance affects audio.

Hello Everyone,
The regional organization eLCC <http://www.elearningcolorado.org/> I'm involved in putting on our first annual conference online in April. We offered a lot of different options <http://www.elearningcolorado.org/sessions.html> for session but now that everyone in our organization is working on taking classes online, we've narrowed it down to Zoom for sessions and using padlet for posters. I'm sure other digital wall platforms could work just as well. To try to get the poster hall feel we're taking the urls of all the padlet and putting them on one padlet. The information about the posters is all on our CFP < https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdImSoUK0is2d5ovFY_11Q7390nCi kKg1LCSReT4IzQ-4Nl1w/viewform
. Anyone who want to is more than welcome to talk a look, use any of verbiage, etc. Also feel free to come to the conference, it's free and online - you can check out what we do well and what we don't do well.

Hello AIRers
I recently attended an in person conference and am looking for advice on how to convert aspects of a face to face conference to an online format. This list may be able to offer some advice or references. In terms of software applications, My experience with hosting classes so far has been with Zoom, and I am familiar with Webex and other applications but have no experience being a host on them.
Conference components under consideration 1) Panelist Presentations -This is the easiest component that can be done online 2) Discussant feedback -Also achievable online 3) Audience Q&A -Achievable with a moderator I lose track of the order of the students asking questions in class more often online than in person classes 4) Poster sessions -Can be replicated as a repeated slide presentation with content from poster 5) Formal networking sessions -Difficult to replicate online, any ideas? 6) Table discussion e.g. at a dinner or conference banquet -Difficult to replicate online, any ideas? Could use Zoom breakout rooms butits different than having a meal together 7) Award ceremonies ?
