    Which will largely be set by governments, travel companies and
    conference venues, so there's probably very little to discuss on that
    topic.

    The topic of how to best organize hybrid events to maximize
    inclusiveness for remote participants is more interesting to me. LPC did
    an amazing job last year with the fully remote setup, but a hybrid setup
    brings new challenges. One issue I've previously experienced in hybrid
    setups, especially for brainstorming-type discussions, was that on-site
    attendees can very quickly break out conversations in small groups (it's
    an issue for fully on-site events too). Session leads should be aware of
    the need to ensure even more than usual that all speakers use
    microphones. I don't think we need to go as far as specific training on
    these topics, but emphasizing the importance of moderation would be
    useful in my opinion.

    There will always be more informal discussions between on-site
    participants. After all, this is one of the benefits of conferences, by
    being all together we can easily organize ad-hoc discussions. This is
    traditionally done by finding a not too noisy corner in the conference
    center, would it be useful to have more break-out rooms with A/V
    equipment than usual ?
