Think of all the money we'll save by shifting 50%+ of our & our colleagues' long-distance travel... We can cover the costs of 1 grad student researcher for every 50 faculty members who participate (& lottery to give that grad student to those who participate). And our colleagues will be better rested, from n ot jet-setting off to do keynotes in person. (I always do my presentations remote. 1 hour of seminar plus lunch with some colleagues elsewhere is never worth 20+ hr of travel!)
