[quote=Anonymous]I see both sides.

Large attendance online meetings and school events are not ideal for virtual and neither are issues or topics where you're trying to have a thoughtful and dynamic conversation among a lot of people.  It can be done but it's hard.  There is zero accountability to show even basic decency of engaging and paying attention and a whole bunch of people half listen with their cameras turned off.   It's just so flat compared to an in-person experience where people are forced to engage and behave respectfully and "show up".  It's also not fun to be the presenter speaking into the void or trying to facilitate a conversation during one of these large group setups.  I've done it a bunch.  But definitely a lot more convenient.

If you can get critical mass to return voluntarily (or I guess force them to return), then there is a tipping point where the overall quality of the conversation and presentation goes up for everybody.

And doing the events hybrid well is also fairly challenging for the people who have to plan the logistics.  From having done these hybrid events, the online people are often checked out and don't participate at the same level as people in person.  Which is pretty normal.  Different energy in the room with the live humans.[/quote]
