Hybrid

There are hybrid animals, plants, cars, and even airplanes. Now there are also hybrid professional conventions in which some participants attend in person and others - including presenters - attend via Zoom or some similar service.

The American Economic Assn. (AEA), which runs the Allied Social Science Associations annual meetings, has announced that its January 2023 meetings in New Orleans will be in hybrid format: 

From a recent AEA announcement:

The AEA leadership is looking forward to being back in-person for the 2023 ASSA meeting in New Orleans on January 6-8. To enable as many people as possible to participate in the meeting, the Association is working with the hotels to provide an option for presenters and discussants with health concerns to participate remotely. We will provide more details when all the logistics have been finalized. As in past years, a number of key sessions will also be live-streamed on the AEA website. Please be assured that the well-being of participants will continue to be of the utmost importance to the organization as it moves ahead with putting on the ASSA meeting.
