The response here doesn’t exactly paint a pretty picture for the upcoming “virtual conference season” - with AWS and other vendors planning long multi-day events - maybe they should reconsider in the future... spread out over time...

Agree. Anything over 4 hours in one day is just not plausible. Some of the shorter ones with a bit in logical break have been OK and there is still value in the content itself. Much like the workplace, some of the value comes from the in person organic interactions that occur, which can’t or don’t serve themselves well in a digital only platform.
