BCW has traditionally been a small meeting. With the focus on discussion that engages all participants, we’ve tried to keep the attendance to around 100, where any more can stifle the intimacy that fosters dialogue. We are in a new situation because of the pandemic. Over the past year, online scientific meetings have exploded and from my perspective have been an unintended but much needed motivation to change our meetings. Meetings are becoming more open and inclusive, and it’s time for BCW to follow suit. We’ve removed the registration cap, and are working on means to moderate the discussion so that we keep the spirit of BCW, and allow more of our community to participate.
