For me this would be a way lower cost, yes. But it’s very contingent on what the workshops are like. Just listening to someone speak and a Q&A? I’d do it for like $10. But if it’s speed meetings or anything with significant face to face interaction I’d need to be paid more.
One could at least try to estimate their personal cost of wearing a mask by considering the following:
Suppose my chance of getting sick at EAG was 0%. How much would someone have to pay me to wear a mask?
If we’re talking about the entire conference, I think I’d need to be paid at least a few hundred dollars.
How about only during large group gatherings? So talks, workshops, & while getting food.
You can take it off for 1:1s and anything else.
Is it a very different cost?
