They are poorly structured and boring, also easily forgotten (the content) because our brains need spatial aspects to support our memory.

I really like the online conferences. It is an excellent way to be updated with the new technologies and trends in the industry. It can be really hard to get access to that information if you are not living in the U.S. and Europe, and attend to physical events can be also expensive.

What a pity I missed this one, I would have liked to know the results.
I usually don't connect here during the weekends. I'm not the type who likes any "workation" or whatever it is. My weekends (they last only 2 days) are for relaxing, recharging batteries, going out, spending quality time with family and friends, and, most of all, having a lot of fun.
Which is, by the way, the totally opposite of any online conference.

The 'Archived Polls' list seems not to allow the archiving of more than one poll on any given date.
The 'What bothers you most about online conferences?' poll was dated 28 sep, as was the 'Have you ever taken a “workation”' poll.
Maybe if we were bombarded with fewer AI-related polls there'd be more days available for polls that risk actually being of interest to members.
