Well, this was interesting: a hybrid remote/in person conference. About half the speakers were presenting remotely and the other half (or was it third?) went in person to the Seattle Hyatt where the conference was held. I was one of them.
There were not that many attendees, I think 4/5th were remote, so most speakers (including myself) gave talks to a handful of in person attendees, it was a bit weird, but hopefully it worked. The conference required everyone to be vaccinated or have a negative test every day (and they checked). Given that, I found that requiring masking the entire time was a bit over the top, and annoying for speaking to others, but so be it:
