ABSTRACT

Virtual conferences rapidly became the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although necessary, there are shortfalls to strictly virtual meetings, including less enthusiasm for submitting abstracts. An approach that combines in-person attendance and virtual platforms may be an optimal compromise both during the ongoing pandemic and moving forward.
