[ORGA-SEMANTiCS-2021-EU] [Extern] Re: Re: Your input on ticketing

[Harshvardhan J. Pandit]

If the costs/budgets work out, I support Victor's proposal. It would be 
good for attendees as it invites more numbers, and grants authors more 
potential audiences. This was a good personal experience for me in 
interacting with people and research. However, this might have some 
friction in case there is an onsite event - in which case there would be 
a friction between free online vs pay to attend.
