Definitely option no. 3. If we are ready to teach online, I think we are also prepared to make online presentations in a conference. Moreover, online conference presentations are not something new.
Opportunities for remote access to conferences should be established anyways, also in the light of sustainability and accessibility. I found this article inspiring: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00786-y
The challenge definitively is to allow for personal encounter and exchange also via remote access. Great ideas come up here: https://neuromatch.io/
I'm highly interested in exchange with more people from event organization! Drop me a message!
