Abstract

The article discusses the impact of venue selection and attendance format on the carbon footprint of air travel to the Australasian College of Dermatologists ASM. It compares emissions from in-person gatherings to hybrid models and virtual conferences, highlighting the significant reduction in emissions with virtual attendance. The study emphasizes the importance of host city location in minimizing carbon emissions and suggests a hybrid model as a way to further reduce environmental impact while maintaining strong attendance.
