Organizing Virtual Conferences through Mirrors: The ACM e-Energy 2020 Experience [4.104922436116807]
The emergence of the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic has forced academic conferences to be held entirely in a virtual manner. Past conferences have revealed numerous challenges, from budget planning, to selecting the supporting virtual platforms. We advocate a mirror program approach for academic conferences. More specifically, the conference program is executed in multiple parallel (mirrored) programs, so that each mirror program can fit a different time zone.
