@yaxu@post.lurk.org Good points in favour of remote attendance options. I think this message is increasingly being heard... although change takes time and small events will always struggle (AV is hard).
However, a minor quibble (perhaps not *that* minor on reflection): please let's not further entrench the wrong belief that "travel" means "flying". E.g. in Europe, where many people live and many international events are held, it is possible to get around without flying.

@stephenrkell@recurse.social Ah I see what you mean, I didn't mean to imply that. I am no-fly and lucky to have a budget that can cover land transport around Europe, nice and practical when I can combine multiple visits in a shortish round trip. Most potential international conference participants live places where land transport to international events is very rarely an option though. AV is very hard to the point of impracticality for 'hybrid' events for sure, but easier for events focussed online.
