As I stated previously and Adam reiterates, then do the actual 
in-person stuff that you find worthwhile and cut out the stuff 
that's "best when communicated online." I completely disagree 
that talks are in the former category and not the latter, 
particularly when a large majority of the scheduled time is spent 
on them.
