Making virtual attendance equal and in-person conferences

  • 1.  Making virtual attendance equal and in-person conferences

    Posted 02-21-2020 11:23
    Communication is a key part of conferences, whether it's communicating the science or networking with other professionals and friends.

    A colleague who is organizing a psychology conference later this year is interested in what best practices are to ensure equal participation and sense of presence for virtual attendees who may not be able to physically travel due budget, personal circumstances, disability, etc.

    If you have some insights, please reach out to Jim and me:

    Thanks!
