Hi Julius,

I think we are facing a lot of changes but that we will come out OK on the other side if we are willing to adapt and learn, which shouldn't be hard for people who are more than accustomed to adapting on the fly! Live conferences have significant environmental impacts and even organizations seeking to green events (like the Green Meetings Industry Council) define green events as those that reduce their negative environmental impacts. In pursuit of responsible planning, I think we should always stop and consider whether an event, to be effective, must be live. Many times, the answer will be yes. We have yet to see the power of face-to-face interactions usurped by technology. But sometimes the answer will be no--and when it is, I suggest we use technology to generate a more sustainable conference. Thanks for your great post.
