Given the challenge of moving from a face to face conference to a virtual conference, this is a big step forward. Hopefully, we can work on the feedback to the various presentations. Maybe next time we could appoint one or two people for each presentation to offer comments and have some group reaction. This could be done with something like ZOOM and asking one or two to formally comment with the author responding. Just an ideal for the next phase of going virtual. Again, great effort to bring these presentations to the virtual conference and everyone should be very pleased.
