摘要
Legacy conferences are costly and time consuming, and exclude scientists lacking various resources or abilities. During the 2020 pandemic, we created an online conference platform, Neuromatch Conferences (NMC), aimed at developing technological and cultural changes tomake conferences more democratic, scalable, and accessible. We discuss the lessons we learned.
