One Downside of Hybrid Business Events

One of the issues with hybird trade shows and buisness conferences is how to take a group photo when half the people are remotely attending. The Pacific Telecommunications Council head its first Advisory Council meeting of the year at PTC'22 and most attendees were attending virtually, including AC members, legal counsel, chair of the Board of Governors. 

Yali Liu, Bert Crinks, Felix Seda, Patricia Paoletta, Darren Yong, Gary Kim, Nico Grove, Jim Poole (sitting in for Alex Vaxmonsky, Isabel Paradis and Nakul Rege are in front of the screen. 

Secretariat members Sharon Nakama, Liane Kobayashi, Jancie Spencer and Nicole Fuertes also attended, as did Tara Giunta, John Gasparini, Sean Bergin, Stephan BeckertThomas “Tom” Cooper, Mark Dando, Joe Zhu, Brandon Amber, Mohamed Elagazy, John Garret, Heng Lu, Robert Mitchell, Francis Pereira, Masaaki Sakamaki, Muhammad Rashid Shafi and Una Zheng were others on the call, as I recall. 

We got our work done, but it really is harder than when we are all face-to-face in the same room.
