[Coral-List] Is there data to indicate an electronic ICRS would be valuable? (Dennis Hubbard

[Franziska Elmer]

Dear coral list,

Two resources to share with you in order to determine if an electronic ICRS would be possible/valuable.

First is the Outrage and Optimism podcast, listen to episode 43 (lastest episode) at minute 32, where they discuss briefly the possibility of large conferences going virtual. The entire episode (as well as the entire podcast series) is very good and worth a listen.

Also this Wednesday, Island Innovation is holding 2 free webinars (at different times to accommodate all time zones) on how to create a successful virtual event. They held a very successful global virtual island summit with 4000 participants last year that was completely free. This year they are aiming at 10000 participants and are creating local hubs with local content to go with it. Here is the link:

Hope everyone is healthy and save in these dire times,

Franziska
