2. Speakers: pre-recording talks made it easier for non-English speakers, no flutters getting in the way of pronunciation, loved it!

3. Chairs: Good job everybody juggling the Zoom and @Slidoapp live! @eshre, next time give us a small screenshot tutorial please? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">

4. Online questions: Fantastic! Loved the possibility to up-vote questions, so the speakers get to engage with what’s most pressing for the audience. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

5. Tech: An unfortunate start for PCCs. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht"> A pity, but great recovery for Day 1 and fantastic work on Day 2-3.

Suggestion for #ESHRE2021:

A mixed model, with on-site attendance + virtual connections, to comply with social distancing and ensuring extended access to people worldwide that would not normally travel?

An idea for #Paris?
