I just can't care anymore. Airplane flights are a lot of effort, and I invariably pick up some kind of conference flu.
For context, I was big into them when I was earlier in my career. But today, the tradeoffs aren't worth it. I'm still a frequent presenter at my favorite conferences, but only for the online portion.
Also, I'm already available for hallway conversation spaces like this one, anyway.
Even early in my career, IRC chat (an ancient form of Discord) was at least as useful to me as in-person hallway conversations.
So now I enjoy an online conference with some time set aside for meet and greet activities.
Are there conferences you believe should be in person? Or would you prefer most to be online?
