Make sure speakers have a video feed of their audience; they’ll probably need it to deliver a good talk.

Consider smaller locations where people can gather to watch talks. Feed video of those locations to the speaker(s).

Consider pre-recording talks, then have the speaker do a chat-based Q&A while the talk is streamed

Allow for listeners to ask questions with a video stream showing them while they do it

Try to add things not possible at a classical conference as added value. Examples: Easily connecting to fellow listeners; access to additional material; follow-up with the speaker; recording options

Extend it to allow for companies to have their conference rooms participate; allow for attending only some talks instead of all, yet provide a discount for the all-access pass

Extend to open space (or other collaborative formats). Allow people to walk in and out of virtual rooms.

I would like to know which free tools can be used for an online conference. I tried teams but struggle with inviting external speakers 😧

@stilkov thanks and congrats. That’s the way to (re)act right know! Don’t let the virus disrupt your business model (as a conference organizer) but find a suitable alternative in advance. We as @_openknowledge will definitely help you to work on the list.
