                    <blockquote>
                        Discussions at conferences often happen in small groups — most
                        people are not able to participate because they are not present,
                        or are too intimidated to join. In the conferences we organized
                        with Zulip, questions or ideas were spread openly. Anybody could
                        get a chance to contribute, and to benefit from new ideas and
                        opportunities for collaboration.
                        <br/> <br/>
                        Zulip turned out to be a great asset that we plan to keep even
                        when we go back to face-to-face events.

                    to log in after the event, sometimes repeatedly, to consult the
