Strongly agree with this post! EA Connect has been more useful to me than the two in-person EA conferences I’ve attended, and I estimate I’ve been far more useful (as a mentor, but not only) at EA Connect than at these other conferences.
No awesome afterparty
I wonder if say, links to post-conference games of Gartic Phone and the like could be a low-cost way to recreate that moment where everyone winds down (esp since the online conference feels more serious and formal) for those who would be interested. (Not confident it’s a good idea, just throwing it out there.)
I think sharing links for these are surely worth! I heard that during peak Covid, there was an online EA New Year’s Eve Party on Gathertown with people literally dancing in the rooms—I haven’t attended, but it sounds pretty wholesome:)

I think post-conference online games would be a great idea :)
