I would love to see a return of in-person WordCamps! There's something invaluable about meeting with your peers, learning, networking, and having a great time together. However, as someone who has organized several WordCamps, Covid has presented a huge additional obstacle to overcome.

Organizing WordCamps is a hard job. You're volunteering for an often thankless and stressful endeavor. Throw in Covid and now what? I think you'll see a lot of WordCamps that once existed will no longer have the volunteer base to see it through. I hope I'm wrong though... returning to "normal" won't be easy but if we don't try we don't ever get there.
