The entire conference took place on six days over the course of three weeks, with sessions starting each Tuesday and Thursday at 3 pm MET. This time allowed participation in particular from Europe, but potentially even from as far as the US West coast (6 am) or Tokyo . Each day was dedicated to one specific topic, namely synthesis, characterization, theory, and application. Each session began with a 30 min lecture by an invited speaker, followed by two 20 min talks, a 20 min break, and three more 20 min talks. Each session was chaired by one of the organizers. The focus on small timeslots spread out over several days enabled the incorporation of the conference into a normal workday, without being as interrupting as a full day conference would be as well as avoiding "Zoom fatgue" . Participation during each session varied between 45 and 80 people. After each talk, participants could write their questions in the Zoom integrated chat, which were then read out by the chair. Additionally, we set up the aforementioned, separate Mattermost server where participants could write their questions even after a talk and engage in discussions with the speakers and other participants. We hoped that this chat platform could serve as a replacement to traditional coffee breaks. We identified several advantages, but also drawbacks in this organization of plenary sessions. The text-based questions, which were centrally read out by the chair, greatly simplified the discussion process, as participants did not need audio equipment themselves to participate. On the other hand, we felt that the lack of "direct" discussions between the presenter and the asking participant created a lack of engagement. Additionally, if the question contained typing errors, it was sometimes hard for the chair to identify the intended meaning, while the questioner was not able to easily clarify his question and/or ask direct follow-up questions. Even though participants were encouraged to type their questions already during the talk, most people opted to wait for the talk to end to write down their questions. Thus, there was sometimes a small waiting period between the ending of the talk and the beginning of the discussion. Last, even though there was a dedicated channel on our Mattermost service, only few people used this opportunity to engage in after-presentation discussions, while at on-site conferences, coffee breaks are often used to engage in scientific discussions. However, we do not know if participants opted to open a private chat with presenters to discuss details of their talk and research presented. Before each session, the respective session's chair offered all presenters an optional tech-check to see if their audio and video equipment was working without fault. Additionally, we tested the setup and the Zoom chat ourselves intensively in advance, including presentations to run during breaks, moderation of participants, and permissions of participants, e.g. screen-sharing. Accordingly, there were only little technical problems encountered during the conference. Still, the time planned for each talk was scheduled to include small buffers for technical problems or overrunning discussions, which proved to be very helpful on all days of conference.
