I believe it is in fact a hybrid event? there’s no mention of that, yeah. @rorygreig any chance the page could be updated to clarify this? there’s some chance attendees would be more interested in participating.
Pretty damn big chance. Flying to Japan is impossible to afford financially for a lot of people, and frankly impossible to afford CO2 emissions wise for anyone at this point. :( That flight alone is typically your yearly CO2 budget for the 1,5 degree target, the quantity people in the global south live off year-long.
I have now added the following text to the website:
The conference is hybrid in-person / virtual. All sessions will have remote dial-in facilities, so authors are able to present virtually and do not need to attend in-person.
This was in our draft copy for the website, I could have sworn it was on there but somehow it got missed out, my apologies!
This event sounds cool, hate that it is in Japan, and surprised to see no mention of it being a hybrid event despite this topic?

yeah very fair. I have been avoiding travel for similar reasons.
Yes it is indeed a hybrid event!
