Excellent comparative notes Maria, and I very much like your suggestions to improve the "hang around" opportunities to meet and chat to others and bump into interesting folks. The encouragement to travel around and see the displays and exhibits via team based hunts and collecting with a final plenary get together and prize giving also gives a nice structure to the social side of the event. I also suggested jogging or workout sessions together to encourage some (real) physical activity during long virtual events.
