The hybrid conference (on-site and virtual) was successful. We asked all the presenters to submit pre-recorded presentation videos and use them for the presentation at the conference, which was effective for running the conference on time. Both on-site participants and virtual participants enjoyed the live Q&A sessions and provided positive feedback.
