This is sideways to the main point in the post, but I’m interested in a ticket type that’s just “Swapcard / unsupported virtual attendee” where accepted people just get access to Swapcard, which lets them schedule 1-1 online videoconferencing, and that’s it.
I find a lot of the value of EAG is in 1-1s, and I’d hope that this would be an option where virtual attendees can get potentially lots of networking value for very little cost.
(Asking because I don’t want to pay a lot of money to attend an EAG where I’d mostly be taking on a mentor role, but I would potentially be happy to do some online 1-1s with people during a Schelling time.)
Update: Just learned about EAGxVirtual, which seems very relevant!
This feels like a “be the change you want to see in the world” moment. If you want such an event, it seems like you could basically just make a forum post (or quick take) offering 1:1s?
That seems much less good than appearing in the SwapCard list of attendees where everyone is scheduling 1:1s already, but I agree that a cheap version of the thing here is very doable even without SwapCard
