This report presents guidelines for deciding when virtual or hybrid conferences are suitable and how to design them. The report is the output from a Dagstuhl seminar where the goal was to review the current status of virtual conferences and to develop best practices for hybrid conferences. The participants provided input on the state-of-the-art of virtual conferences: what works, what does not, and what needs improvement. From this discussion, the participants discussed the requirements, implications, and guidelines for designing hybrid conferences. The participants felt that in the future, small research meetings will move entirely online whereas larger ones will be held as hybrid events.
