论文摘要
2020年1月13日，首届Photonics在线聚会（POM）汇集了1100多名研究人员，讨论了光子学的最新进展。或更确切地说，这不是，因为会议与演讲者，组织者和与会者完全分离了六大大洲和数百个地点，并通过视频会议工具和社交媒体连接。尽管有这样的“分离”，但会议仍保留了传统会议的许多特征：邀请并贡献了随后的问题和讨论以及海报会议。但是，与传统会议不同，所有与会者都避免了航空旅行，高登记成本（完全免费），二氧化碳排放或签证问题。当然，对家庭的影响也被最小化了，尽管不便时区的参与者必须提早醒来或熬夜。在此评论中，我们重点介绍了启用此活动，提供技巧和建议的关键步骤，以帮助组织类似的在线聚会。
On January 13th 2020, the inaugural Photonics Online Meetup (POM) brought together more than 1100 researchers to discuss the latest advances in photonics. Or rather, it didn't, because the meeting was completely delocalized with the speakers, organizers, and attendees scattered across six continents and hundreds of locations, connected via a video-conferencing tool and social media. Despite this "delocalisation," the meeting retained many characteristics of a traditional conference: invited and contributed talks with follow-up questions and discussion, and a poster session. However, unlike with traditional conferences, all attendees avoided air travel, high registration costs (it was completely free), CO2 emission, or visa issues. Surely the impact on families was minimized as well, though participants in inconvenient time zones had to wake up early or stay up late. In this Comment, we highlight the key steps that enabled this event, offering tips and advice, to aid the organisation of similar Online Meetups.
