Hybrid Conferences [President's Column]

I have talked several times in this column about conferences and the good vibe we get by returning to in-person meetings. Nevertheless, online conferences can also be exciting, primarily to address audiences in certain parts of the world that cannot travel due to financial support or other matters, such as visa issues. This is one of the reasons why the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) is thinking of launching a 100% online event that can accommodate members worldwide in an actual virtual microwave world congress.
