I'm imagining a far future scenario (sorry to de-rail this
conversation) where I go to MIT and ask them for a smaller single room
for the weekend. Then people nearby travel up to and hang out with some
large screens mirroring a room over in Europe somewhere. Conversations
happen, we see the talks, but aren't isolated at home and get some of
that sweet social interaction that helps these kinds of projects.

All the fun of the fair, none of the air fare fur.
