Field "fmCrosspost" of type "CrosspostOutput" must have a selection of subfields. Did you mean "fmCrosspost { ... }"?

Hi Aidan, thanks for the great tips! I read this after the conference, so I’ll have to use some of them next time. “Dive down the rabbit holes of passion” is a fantastic phrase.
Do you have thoughts on mentioning the option for audio-only calls to people you’re wanting to chat with, in case that would make them more comfortable and/or willing to meet in the first place? I for one have only recently gotten over some of my nerves surrounding video calls with new people. Now I find them engaging, but sometimes distracting as well.
During the conference, I wondered if some people find face-to-face networking daunting, and would appreciate the option—for them perhaps an additional benefit of a virtual conference—to choose how and when they use video. I think going forward I’ll offer the option to people I’m connecting with (for them and for me).
Hope you had a great conference!

  Hey, that’s a great idea. Videochat can be nice, but definitely isn’t necessary.
  
  I‘ve edited the post to recommend noting that videochat is optional, and audio-only is perfectly good.
  
  Thanks for the thought and the kind words! Hope you had a great conference too :)

  Thanks!
  Sidenote: I love when people praise my contributions to the EA Forum. Posting here can be intimidating—the bar for quality of conversation is often really high, disagreements can be harsh, and especially when using my real name I don’t want to earn a bad reputation. So when other people offer positive feedback or sincere gratitude, it makes me really happy and encourages me to post more often.
  If you want to encourage more discussion on the EA Forum, thank someone for their contributions. So thank you Michael!

    Agreed!
    In the same spirit, I’ll thank Aaron Gertler for his EAGx talk where he made a similar point to what you just said, which was part of what prompted me to actually write that comment. I initially just thought to myself “Great tips! I’ll definitely be actioning these idas”, then moved away from this post without commenting, but then thought “Wait, I should actually let Aidan know. #WhatWouldGertlerDo”
