Ah yeah I think I wasn’t counting organising costs.
I meant that if you measure cost-effectiveness in terms of impact per $, then EAGx looks way better , but if you measure cost-effectiveness in terms of impact per hour of (attendee) time, then EAGx looks similar. So there’s a ‘regression to the mean’ type effect when you consider additional metrics.
But you’re right I wasn’t considering organiser time. Apologies for the “quick thought” comment ending up being confusing rather than helpful.

No worries at all! I think always good to poke at this stuff, and I agree that per attendee hour, EAGxVirtual is less cost-effective than per $ spent.
