I also worry that pretty small slights in person are now magnified x1000 on social media. So that's another needle to thread next time.

Satire and memes are great of course, but there are subsets of these which are sexist and otherwise exclusionary. Good luck policing this.

Sexist memes on the conference hashtag is probably something that's contraindicated by any sensible CoC, if not in writing then in spirit.
