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.
I’m curious if the answer would also differ if said conferences were more interactive (breakout sessions, etc).
Sitting at your computer and listening to someone talk for 6 hours just isn’t fun and if will be difficult to keep a captive audience. Answers may differ if that changes.
In person has an advantage since it’s much more naked in. You can chat with people’ in the minutes between sessions l, etc.
