Abstract
Participation in national and international conferences is an important activity for academics and provides opportunities in many fields of endeavour to share knowledge and interact with colleagues as part of established and newly developed networks. In 2020, the COVID pandemic forced many international conferences to adopt an online format at short notice [1, 2]. To many, having positive and productive virtual conference attendance experiences would have seemed inconceivable before 2020 [3]. However, it has been demonstrated that moving to online conference formats has resulted in increased attendance due to the removal of previous impediments such as the cost of international travel. In this topical debate, John Schreiner and Ramsey Badawi debate whether post-COVID, the future of research conferences should be virtual.
