Online LHCP 2021
Goal a year ago was to hold an in-person, or mixed, conference in 2021
●
Fully online always kept as a fallback
●
In-person/mixed option maintained as long as possible, until funds would have to
be irrevocably committed
●
Decision made at the end of February to go fully online again
Thanks to IUPAP and CERN support, no-fee attendance possible once more
Successful format developed for LHCP2020 was very largely re-used, with
only minor updates
●
Talks scheduled Mon-Fri 12.00-18.30 CEST with two 15’ breaks
●
Short Saturday closing plenary 14.00-16.20 CEST
●
Parallel sessions with seven-fold parallelism
●
Poster session split into a (European) morning and evening session – presenters
specified for which session(s) they would be present
Technology used the CERN-indico-integration with Zoom, fully possible with
standard Zoom meetings this time (webcast available for plenaries)
●
All sessions recorded, provided speaker confirmed OK
●
Live closed-captioning by a commercial company for all plenary sessions and
selected parallel sessions (could be increased on request) – fidelity improved over
automatic captioning (used for remaining sessions)
●
Mattermost for discussions outside sessions (very little used)

A very large and geographically broad attendance

Thanks to all of the organising team, especially Roberto Salerno and Giovanni
Marchiori, the “local” co-chairs

We plan to “return” to Paris for LHCP in a future year
Preparations for LHCP 2022 in Taipei, 16-21 May, are underway

Aiming for a high fraction of in-person attendees
Many thanks to IUPAP for their continuing generous support for LHCP

IUPAP funding will be targetted to support participation of early-career scientists,
including students, from a broad community, to attend, give talks and present
posters

We want to re-establish this tradition in 2022 after the hiatus, helping support
the crucial strong engagement of early-career scientists in LHCP
