You know, I hope conferences continue to do the online thing from now on. Flying out to the other side of the world is a PITA, and the cost-benefit tends to tilt towards "nah" unless I really like the event. But sit at home in front of a camera? Sure, why not.

If you think about it, the whole "gather people in one physical space" thing is kind of... a relic of the past. It has its place, but it shouldn't be the expectation or default. We've all seen Snowden and similar special cases in the past. Make >50% of talks remote.

People *local from the area* can certainly gather around, but getting people from all over the world together is a huge energy, time, and effort investment... which often doesn't really make sense.

Replying to @_black_traffic_
Honestly, every time I fly around, there's like a week+ of practical overhead, between the flights, jet-lag productivity loss, buffer days, just generally being tired as heck after all the effort, etc. It's fun, but I can't do it >3 times a year.

One year I did 5 IIRC and that was completely unsustainable. I'm at ~2 right now (except, you know, 0 this year).
