   Even if the conference is open, how many of you will actually travel to the conference site? Look, Facebook cancelled all gatherings of 50 people and above until next summer.

   ^If that is true, they will change policy before summer is over.

   stay tuned - there is a conference call next Wednesday for the executive committee followed by the rest of council - it seems unlikely a surprise call would be held to say the conference is happening

   If history is any guidance, pandemics come in waves. Having thousands of people gathering in a couple of hotels is very very dangerous.

   Probably half the people or more on the program are employed by schools that will prohibit all college-funded travel until at least the end of 2020. So huge numbers of people are going to drop out if this conference isn't cancelled.

   I'm a junior faculty member at a crappy school, I need to go to APSA so I have a better chance at tenure. I guess that means I must risk my life for my job.

   Nothing of value would be lost in either case.

   I could just pay a graduate student to go in my place, nobody knows me there anyway.

   I assume only a few people will/would attend in person (I might) and that most will/would do it online, in which case I'm wondering if all the panels will be open to:
   1. just the presenters and discussants
   2. anyone registered for the conference
   3. any APSA member
   4. the whole world

   And would presenters do it on regular Zoom or in the more restricted webinar format...

    What's the difference between a regular Zoom and the webinar format?

    Seconded. I just really want to know if I present on a Thursday or Friday! It's all I've been thinking about for weeks!

    I mean, if you have to buy a plane ticket, it's actually useful information.
