A key next step will be to develop and disseminate widely guidelines on ways to host these sessions successfully and how best to maximize and ensure active participation by attendees as we do not have control over this.

I agree that moving forward, post-COVID 19, things will not be the same again, at least for a while. The development world would need to re-prioritize budgetary allocations from items such as travel expenses, per diem, and hotel bills and redirect such funds to strengthen IT, virtual offices and remote conferencing. There will still be a need for face to face meetings with stakeholders, especially government officials in sealing a deal, or signing MOUs as the need arises; while maintaining the social distancing concept. Great write up!
