What is the best way to conduct virtual conference online

A virtual conference is very much similar to a physical one. The only difference is that participants in a virtual conference join virtually. The experience that attendees get in these types of conferences remains the same. However, the virtual conference quality depends on the platform in which they are conducted.

Virtual conferences work just like face to face conferences with help of a high speed internet connection, microphone and cameras. It has networking sessions, chats, tables and everything that we usually experience in a face to face conference.

A Virtual conference gives organizers and event planners the scope to reach a broader audience which often results in an increase in registration numbers as attendees do not have to bear the travel cost and hassle.

What is a virtual conference?

A virtual conference is an event that takes place in the virtual environment instead of the real world. Such events include, panel discussion, training and certification, demo of sales products, academic sessions, live entertainment, and more.

The main objective behind conducting virtual conferences are the following:

Increase business exposure.

Networking.

Lead generation.

Informing and learning.

Virtual conferences can be a great alternative to an in person conference.

Elements of virtual events

A virtual conference is all about its content, data and attendee engagement. While initiating a virtual conference, video quality, connectivity and the places where the conference will happen should be taken into consideration to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

A virtual conference falls under the category of virtual events. So when you are conducting a virtual conference, you must be aware of the elements of a virtual event as well.

Here is a list of virtual event elements:

Event website.

Live presentation.

Attendee registration for the conference.

Audio and video quality.

Live polls.

Q & A session.

Post event feedback.

Interactive booths.

Attendee engagement.

Event technology required for virtual conferences:

Virtual conferences or any virtual events are dependent on technology. Attendees can not participate in virtual events without the help of mobile devices or computers. Hosting a virtual event involves much more than hosting a virtual conference. An efficient plugin like Zoom offered by WP Event Manager is enough to conduct conferences virtually.

The Zoom addon can be an ultimate solution for your virtual conferences as it carries all the facilities that Zoom offers along with some amazing features that take your virtual conferences to another level.

The best way to host a virtual conference:

Things to consider when you plan to host a virtual conference:

Being a technology-driven platform, arranging a virtual conference requires less hassle than an in-person one. However, there are certain things that you must take into account while planning a virtual conference.

1. Make a solid strategy

Having a solid strategy reduces half of your stress in hosting a virtual conference.

Here is a list of things to consider when you are building a strategy for your virtual conference:

Keep your target audiences along with their preferences in mind.

Understand the objective of your conference and how you can achieve the target?

Make a content plan based on the conference goal and your target audience.

Make a roadmap for your event promotion.

Select the list of speakers you want to have in the event.

Plan for breakout sessions and networking moments.

A strategy built on the above-mentioned ground can be extremely helpful for you in moving ahead smoothly for your virtual conference.

2. Content preparation

Having pre-recorded, well-structured and professional video clips can be a great addition to your virtual conference. This reduces the chances of facing any technical issues during the event and also encourages your attendees to get involved in the event.

Besides this you can provide your attendees with a downloaded on–demand video after the event. This will be like a gift to your attendees that they will get after the conference.

3. Selecting a suitable platform

Choosing a suitable platform for hosting virtual conferences is the first step that you take toward its success. While searching you will come across several platforms for managing virtual conferences and each of them has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

However, you need to finalize the one that fulfills all your business requirements.

Here are the things to consider before selecting a suitable platform for your virtual events:

If you want space to allow sponsors to promote their products.

The extent of interaction at your conference. Decide whether it is going to be a networking event or a webinar.

The number of expected attendees.

Select a platform based on the above-mentioned grounds.

When it comes to a virtual conference, the most desired platform is the Zoom plugin offered by WP Event Manager. It is suitable for all types of virtual events and businesses of all sizes.

Take a look at it its prominent features before making a selection:

The Zoom plugin gives the power to control the conference in the hands of the host.

It lets the host sell the conference and manage transactions through WooCommerce.

It allows users to display the event details attractively in a block view.

The host can arrange video conferences easily through all devices including smartphones and tablets.

The meeting link will only be shared with the participants.

It fully protects conferences with its advanced level of security and more.

Click here to discover the plugin now.

You can purchase the plugin separately from the WP Event Manager official site but if you are a smart buyer go for the Virtual addon bundle that contains all the necessary add-ons that you need to streamline your virtual event management process. The bundle option is more affordable and fulfills all your requirements.

4. Marketing

A lot depends on the way you choose to reach out to your target audience which we call marketing. Whether you are hosting a virtual event or an in-person event, the importance of marketing remains the same for both.

For any type of virtual event or conference, it is better to utilize both online and offline platforms to market your event.

Marketing is a big and challenging task as a small mistake can lead to the failure of your events. Use marketing addons offered by WP Event Manager plugin that includes Zoho CRM, Sendinblue and more. You can purchase all of its marketing addons in a bundle named All Event Manager pro.

5. Attendee engagement

Attendee engagement is the heart of every event or conference. As an event or conference host, it is your responsibility to ensure that all the participants connect with each other.

Fortunately, networking is easier in virtual conferences than in physical conferences. There are efficient tools available for the purpose like the Expo Networking plugin from WP Event Manager.

Conclusion

Virtual conferencing can be extremely beneficial for any organization. You just need to know the right way to conduct that. Understanding your target audience, setting a goal for the conference and relying on some of the best WordPress plugins available out there, do the work for you.

Considering the current situation of the world, we can say that virtual conferences are here to stay.

I assure you, an AI didn’t write a terrible “George Carlin” routine

There are only TWO MORE DAYS left in the Kickstarter for the audiobook of The Bezzle, the sequel to Red Team Blues, narrated by @wilwheaton! You can pre-order the audiobook and ebook, DRM free, as well as the hardcover, signed or unsigned. There's also bundles with Red Team Blues in ebook, audio or paperback.

On Hallowe'en 1974, Ronald Clark O'Bryan murdered his son with poisoned candy. He needed the insurance money, and he knew that Halloween poisonings were rampant, so he figured he'd get away with it. He was wrong:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Clark_O%27Bryan

The stories of Hallowe'en poisonings were just that – stories. No one was poisoning kids on Hallowe'en – except this monstrous murderer, who mistook rampant scare stories for truth and assumed (incorrectly) that his murder would blend in with the crowd.

Last week, the dudes behind the "comedy" podcast Dudesy released a "George Carlin" comedy special that they claimed had been created, holus bolus, by an AI trained on the comedian's routines. This was a lie. After the Carlin estate sued, the dudes admitted that they had written the (remarkably unfunny) "comedy" special:

https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/01/george-carlins-heirs-sue-comedy-podcast-over-ai-generated-impression/

As I've written, we're nowhere near the point where an AI can do your job, but we're well past the point where your boss can be suckered into firing you and replacing you with a bot that fails at doing your job:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/15/passive-income-brainworms/#four-hour-work-week

AI systems can do some remarkable party tricks, but there's a huge difference between producing a plausible sentence and a good one. After the initial rush of astonishment, the stench of botshit becomes unmistakable:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/03/botshit-generative-ai-imminent-threat-democracy

Some of this botshit comes from people who are sold a bill of goods: they're convinced that they can make a George Carlin special without any human intervention and when the bot fails, they manufacture their own botshit, assuming they must be bad at prompting the AI.

This is an old technology story: I had a friend who was contracted to livestream a Canadian awards show in the earliest days of the web. They booked in multiple ISDN lines from Bell Canada and set up an impressive Mbone encoding station on the wings of the stage. Only one problem: the ISDNs flaked (this was a common problem with ISDNs!). There was no way to livecast the show.

Nevertheless, my friend's boss's ordered him to go on pretending to livestream the show. They made a big deal of it, with all kinds of cool visualizers showing the progress of this futuristic marvel, which the cameras frequently lingered on, accompanied by overheated narration from the show's hosts.

The weirdest part? The next day, my friend – and many others – heard from satisfied viewers who boasted about how amazing it had been to watch this show on their computers, rather than their TVs. Remember: there had been no stream. These people had just assumed that the problem was on their end – that they had failed to correctly install and configure the multiple browser plugins required. Not wanting to admit their technical incompetence, they instead boasted about how great the show had been. It was the Emperor's New Livestream.

Perhaps that's what happened to the Dudesy bros. But there's another possibility: maybe they were captured by their own imaginations. In "Genesis," an essay in the 2007 collection The Creationists, EL Doctorow (no relation) describes how the ancient Babylonians were so poleaxed by the strange wonder of the story they made up about the origin of the universe that they assumed that it must be true. They themselves weren't nearly imaginative enough to have come up with this super-cool tale, so God must have put it in their minds:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/29/gedankenexperimentwahn/#high-on-your-own-supply

That seems to have been what happened to the Air Force colonel who falsely claimed that a "rogue AI-powered drone" had spontaneously evolved the strategy of killing its operator as a way of clearing the obstacle to its main objective, which was killing the enemy:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/ayyyyyy-eyeeeee/

This never happened. It was – in the chagrined colonel's words – a "thought experiment." In other words, this guy – who is the USAF's Chief of AI Test and Operations – was so excited about his own made up story that he forgot it wasn't true and told a whole conference-room full of people that it had actually happened.

Maybe that's what happened with the George Carlinbot 3000: the Dudesy dudes fell in love with their own vision for a fully automated luxury Carlinbot and forgot that they had made it up, so they just cheated, assuming they would eventually be able to make a fully operational Battle Carlinbot.

That's basically the Theranos story: a teenaged "entrepreneur" was convinced that she was just about to produce a seemingly impossible, revolutionary diagnostic machine, so she faked its results, abetted by investors, customers and others who wanted to believe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theranos

The thing about stories of AI miracles is that they are peddled by both AI's boosters and its critics. For boosters, the value of these tall tales is obvious: if normies can be convinced that AI is capable of performing miracles, they'll invest in it. They'll even integrate it into their product offerings and then quietly hire legions of humans to pick up the botshit it leaves behind. These abettors can be relied upon to keep the defects in these products a secret, because they'll assume that they've committed an operator error. After all, everyone knows that AI can do anything, so if it's not performing for them, the problem must exist between the keyboard and the chair.

But this would only take AI so far. It's one thing to hear implausible stories of AI's triumph from the people invested in it – but what about when AI's critics repeat those stories? If your boss thinks an AI can do your job, and AI critics are all running around with their hair on fire, shouting about the coming AI jobpocalypse, then maybe the AI really can do your job?

https://locusmag.com/2020/07/cory-doctorow-full-employment/

There's a name for this kind of criticism: "criti-hype," coined by Lee Vinsel, who points to many reasons for its persistence, including the fact that it constitutes an "academic business-model":

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

That's four reasons for AI hype:

to win investors and customers;

to cover customers' and users' embarrassment when the AI doesn't perform;

AI dreamers so high on their own supply that they can't tell truth from fantasy;

A business-model for doomsayers who form an unholy alliance with AI companies by parroting their silliest hype in warning form.

But there's a fifth motivation for criti-hype: to simplify otherwise tedious and complex situations. As Jamie Zawinski writes, this is the motivation behind the obvious lie that the "autonomous cars" on the streets of San Francisco have no driver:

https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/01/driverless-cars-always-have-a-driver/

GM's Cruise division was forced to shutter its SF operations after one of its "self-driving" cars dragged an injured pedestrian for 20 feet:

https://www.wired.com/story/cruise-robotaxi-self-driving-permit-revoked-california/

One of the widely discussed revelations in the wake of the incident was that Cruise employed 1.5 skilled technical remote overseers for every one of its "self-driving" cars. In other words, they had replaced a single low-waged cab driver with 1.5 higher-paid remote operators.

As Zawinski writes, SFPD is well aware that there's a human being (or more than one human being) responsible for every one of these cars – someone who is formally at fault when the cars injure people or damage property. Nevertheless, SFPD and SFMTA maintain that these cars can't be cited for moving violations because "no one is driving them."

But figuring out who which person is responsible for a moving violation is "complicated and annoying to deal with," so the fiction persists.

(Zawinski notes that even when these people are held responsible, they're a "moral crumple zone" for the company that decided to enroll whole cities in nonconsensual murderbot experiments.)

Automation hype has always involved hidden humans. The most famous of these was the "mechanical Turk" hoax: a supposed chess-playing robot that was just a puppet operated by a concealed human operator wedged awkwardly into its carapace.

This pattern repeats itself through the ages. Thomas Jefferson "replaced his slaves" with dumbwaiters – but of course, dumbwaiters don't replace slaves, they hide slaves:

https://www.stuartmcmillen.com/blog/behind-the-dumbwaiter/

The modern Mechanical Turk – a division of Amazon that employs low-waged "clickworkers," many of them overseas – modernizes the dumbwaiter by hiding low-waged workforces behind a veneer of automation. The MTurk is an abstract "cloud" of human intelligence (the tasks MTurks perform are called "HITs," which stands for "Human Intelligence Tasks").

This is such a truism that techies in India joke that "AI" stands for "absent Indians." Or, to use Jathan Sadowski's wonderful term: "Potemkin AI":

https://reallifemag.com/potemkin-ai/

This Potemkin AI is everywhere you look. When Tesla unveiled its humanoid robot Optimus, they made a big flashy show of it, promising a $20,000 automaton was just on the horizon. They failed to mention that Optimus was just a person in a robot suit:

https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/elon-musk-tesla-robot-optimus-ai

Likewise with the famous demo of a "full self-driving" Tesla, which turned out to be a canned fake:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-self-driving-was-staged-engineer-testifies-2023-01-17/

The most shocking and terrifying and enraging AI demos keep turning out to be "Just A Guy" (in Molly White's excellent parlance):

https://twitter.com/molly0xFFF/status/1751670561606971895

And yet, we keep falling for it. It's no wonder, really: criti-hype rewards so many different people in so many different ways that it truly offers something for everyone.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

happy to announce i’ve finally lost it and spent a considerable amount of time making a dragon age inquisition mod that lets your inquisitor use they/them pronouns. if there’s anyone out there besides me who wants to use it, here it is on nexus.

detailed description and personal commentary under the cut

update: as of 3.05 (may 3rd), the mod has been uploaded to nexus. see download link above for any future updates.

this is a mod for frosty mod manager 1.0.6.1. you MUST install the bioware localization plugin for it to work, otherwise the game won’t start. on fmm 1.0.6.2, the plugin is already built in, so you don’t need to worry;

this mod is a simple overhaul of the game’s base text; no changes were made to the actual voice lines. this mod also does not affect default romance flags (just like in vanilla game, you can only romance sera with a "female" inquisitor (or dorian with "male"), but the mod should, hypothetically, be compatible with other mods that edit romance flags);

you can install it at any point of the game. starting a new playthrough is not necessary;

works for all races and with all available dlcs;

along with the pronouns change, this mod changes all gendered words used to refer to the inquisitor to be gender neutral, i.e man / woman have been replaced with person or contextual variants. my lord / my lady and other similar titles have been replaced with messere (on the basis of this reddit thread);

some of the dialogue could've been mistakenly changed, since context was not always easy to parse. if you try this mod out, i’d greatly appreciate any help with pointing out my mistakes (blackwall’s romance in particular has given me the most trouble); additionally, i might have missed some lines in the codexes, since i skimmed through them very briefly.

i’ve no previous modding experience, so i went with the easiest option and, like i mentioned above, brute forced it and made a complete overhaul of the base game text as opposed to a pickable option i’d like it to be. ideally i’d love for this mod to be bundled together with this other one that switches pc pronouns (which was a partial inspiration for this mod). if anyone here has any knowledge on whether this is something that could be done, please hmu.

also, since in order to make this mod i had to read through the entire game text (it was torturous. not gonna lie) i collected some of my personal favorite bits and pieces along the way. if anyone’s curious, you can look at them here. there’s surprisingly many developers’ notes in there.

ps: this mod is free to use for all so this is not at all necessary, but if anyone is feeling generous, i have a tip jar.

#oh boy. let's see #dragon age #dragon age mod #dragon age inquisition #dai mods #NO idea how to tag this. help #i was initially planning to just use screenshots of codexes on inquisitors of every race (since this mod works for all of them)#but decided to take some of parsley instead because they are after all the motherfucker that started it all. my deed is done. i am at peace #i dedicate this mod to my friend srid whos been providing me with emotional support while i worked on this. he kept me sane #i also dedicate this mod to that one person from a random tapatalk thread from 2015 that i found while searching whether someone's done #something like this before. they're the reason the idea for this mod planted itself inception style in my brain back in 2020 #anyway. enjoy. please

Just a quick question as someone who is well-meaning but just a little confused about the kindle thing:

is it just the filesize of the pages that's the problem w/ downloading? I'm not sure what the difference between dl-ing up front or while reading would be from a hosting perspective. (unless ppl are actually wanting every page at once instead of like a few chapters' worth)

Sorry if all this is annoying, I'm just trying to better understand the problem. I don't mean to bother, so if it's not something you want to talk abt, then that's completely fair.

I guess the thing I keep snagging on is that it's not at all what I intended for the comic and it's not what the site is optimized for. My site follows an extremely normal webcomic format, the tumblr mirror has multiple pages in each post if people need improved loadtimes, and I'm getting kind of thrown that people are suddenly asking for it to be in a completely different offline format? A webcomic has "web" right in the name. It doesn't work that way, it hasn't worked that way the entire time the comic has existed, and frankly, while the intent was definitely not malicious, being asked "hey I'm having a lot of trouble pirating your work, you should make it easier for me" feels Weird And Bad for reasons I would assume are self-evident.

From my side of things, I'm hoping to get Aurora physically published in the future, and physical publication these days usually also goes hand in hand with an ebook release. Publishers already need convincing why they should physically publish something that exists for free online. If I jerry-rigged a downloadable ebook version myself, why would a publisher go to the effort to do it for me? It'd be like self-publishing the book first and then asking them to pay to do it all over again. I would very much like to not fuck up the publishing thing and that means I'm not touching anything a publisher would want to do.

Aurora is entirely free. It has no affiliated patreon, and after a brief run and some laughably poor policy management from google's ad plugin, the site no longer has any ads. I'm not saying this to guilt anyone - just to contextualize why, after finally completing the work of four and a half years of my life that I shared 100% freely with the world for the sheer love of creation and the profound joy it gave me to see people fall in love with this story I care so deeply about, why it sucks that people immediately, not even 24 hours after the final page of arc 1 goes up, start complaining that it doesn't exist in a nice little bundle on all platforms on and offline.

I promise it's not a big deal, but it's not a pleasant experience either.
