#JSM2021 virtual vs. in-person: IMO there are exactly two activities at an average JSM that dictate in-person presence: cheering at the award ceremonies and browsing the new books. Confidential coffee (job search, editorial boards) can be done with burner phones.
Committee meetings should be /must be zoom calls; nobody is going back to in-person on that one. Having the presentations/files in advance/right after the event is the level of awesomeness not ever achieved by the conferences of the yester year.
Found yourself in a session that’s a poor match? Just click “All agenda” and find something else.
Maybe Thing 3 #JSM2021 that has to be done in-person are the short courses with either a heavy software component (where TAs can help debug) or a heavy student interaction component (collect data off each other, solve some problems and compare the answers, etc.)
