Introduction
QCE21 sessions consist of mixes of pre-recorded video presentations and live Zoom meetings. Paper, keynote, and tutorial presentations consist of pre-recorded presentations followed by live Q/A components. Exhibits, Workshops, Panels, Posters, Birds of Feather sessions consist mostly of lengthy live and interactive components with the occasional intermixed pre-recorded video presentation.
The QCE20 organizing team gained significant experience in orchestrating a successful virtual event. In 2020, we went through three planning iterations from an in-person, to a hybrid, and finally to a 100% virtual event. In the end, we only had about a month to transition to a 100% virtual event in part due to the force majeure conditions in our hotel contract. For 2021, we decided much earlier to go with a 100% virtual event. This will not only simplify the organization but also guarantee a safe event for international attendees from all over the globe.
