Description
How can academic conferences become more sustainable, accessible and inclusive, without losing what makes them valuable in the first place? What are the real experiences of academics, organisers and professional staff engaging with hybrid and remote conferencing today?
The Hybrid Conferencing Project invites academics, conference organisers, chairs, facilitators and professional staff to share their experiences of hybrid and remote conferencing.
We are particularly interested in what works well, what does not, and how conferences might evolve in the future.
