Significant technological advances have allowed conferences that are
entirely virtual to take place. Moreover, global climate change has
individuals rethinking their approach to conference travel. This is a
good time for our field to reflect on the standard conference model,
online adaptation, and what we want our standard model to be once this
crisis has past. </span></span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:19.425px;font-family:Arial,Arial_EmbeddedFont,Arial_MSFontService,sans-serif"> </span></p></div><div style="direction:ltr"><p style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent;color:windowtext;text-align:left;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,Arial_EmbeddedFont,Arial_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:19.425px" lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color:inherit">Our survey is designed to probe the attitudes and habits of the
