Does anyone have thoughts on whether it’s still worthwhile to attend EAGxVirtual in this case?
I have been considering applying for EAGxVirtual, and I wanted to quickly share two reasons why I haven’t:
I would only be able to attend on Sunday afternoon CET, and it seems like it might be a waste to apply if I’m only available for that time slot, as this is something I would never do for an in-person conference.
I can’t find the schedule anywhere. You probably only have access to it if you are on Swapcard, but this makes it difficult to decide ahead of time whether it is worth attending, especially if I can only attend a small portion of the conference.
EAGxVirtual is cheap to attend. I don’t really see much downside to only attending one day. And you can still make connections and meet people after the conference is over.

I’d be curious to know the marginal cost of an additional attendee—I’d put it between 5-30 USD, assuming they attend all sessions.
Assuming you update your availability on swapcard, and that you would get value out of attending a conference, I suspect attending is positive EV.
