I have a couple of ideas on how we might be able to improve remote experience without restricting in-person experience. - Have one or two moderators per session to watch chat and Q&A to enable remote participants to chime in and participate. - Moderators can make sure remote participation doesn't go unnoticed and enable taking turns for remote vs. people participating in person. It will be change in the way we interact in all in-person sessions for sure, however it might enhance the experience for remote attendees. thanks, -- Shuah
