  1. So, who’s collecting the best ideas on how to successfully run a remote conference? I’ll start with a list of my own, please reply to with yours or links to others.

      Make sure speakers have a video feed of their audience; they’ll probably need it to deliver a good talk.

        Consider smaller locations where people can gather to watch talks. Feed video of those locations to the speaker(s).

          Consider pre-recording talks, then have the speaker do a chat-based Q&A while the talk is streamed
          1. …in reply to @stilkov
            Allow for listeners to ask questions with a video stream showing them while they do it

              Do everything possible to emulate “hallway conversations” at a (semi-)virtual conference
              1. …in reply to @stilkov
                Try to add things not possible at a classical conference as added value. Examples: Easily connecting to fellow listeners; access to additional material; follow-up with the speaker; recording options

                  Extend it to allow for companies to have their conference rooms participate; allow for attending only some talks instead of all, yet provide a discount for the all-access pass
                  1. …in reply to @stilkov
                    Extend to open space (or other collaborative formats). Allow people to walk in and out of virtual rooms.
