Weird thing I noticed about virtual conferences: I am nagged by this bug of not feeling productive in a way that I definitley wouldn’t have if I were traveling.
“How come you’re not caught up on email? What have you even DONE today, just watch videos?”

Normal conference: cancel all meetings, I'm not able to take a single one. Virtual conference: well, I guess this is the only time that's easy to schedule a PIR, so I'll miss a talk or two.

Yeah exactly. I took two meetings today that I just definitely wouldn’t have if I were traveling, or I would have scheduled them during breaks/lunch/etc.

Normal conference: I know when it is and it's blocked on my calendar. Virtual conference: I see tweets and go "oh, I wish I could have scheduled that into today, but there was not a chance."

this! Plus the permission aspect. If you’ve invested heavily into flights, hotel, and blocking time (even if it’s not YOUR money), then how can someone expect you to just work during that time?
