Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the usual ways the networking research community operates. This article reviews experiences organising and participating in virtual conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020-2021. Thanks to the broader scope of the Dagstuhl seminar on 'Climate Friendly Internet Research' held in July 2021, here we focus the discussion on state-of-the-art in technologies and practices applied in online events such as conferences, teaching, and other meetings and identify approaches that are successful as well as others that need improvement. We also present a set of best practices and recommendations for the community.
