Honestly (and sorry to say), if I attend a conference and pay the full
price, I would be more than disappointed if the presenter is not in
the same room as me. I can watch youtube videos without wasting my
money. I am not the conference expert, but I doubt there are (many)
other conferences using remote presentations.

Cheers
Christian
