Abstract
We show results from our DEI surveys conducted in 2023 and 2024 regarding the question of whether workshops should be conducted online or in person. Surprisingly, we find no correlation between diversity criteria and a preference for online conferences, including care responsibilities. The only weak numerically significant predictor that leads scientists to prefer a conference online, shown in new survey data from 2024 are VISA waiting times and lack of funding. Improved support for visa acquisition and funding can help improve the possibility for attendance.
