Pre-survey for ITCS'25 online parallel

Relaying a message: some TCS people (initiative led by Hanlin Ren) are setting up an online version of ITCS'25, for those who are not able to attend in person this January. Format and details TBD, but if you're potentially interested, fill this form: forms.gle/RPHRC6R331bH... #TCSSky

If you're a researcher who faces #visa issues, do not have enough travel funding, or can't attend in person for any other reason, you're welcome to join our purely online experiment! Even if not, you're also welcome to spread the word to your colleges who might need this. (2/n)

We are launching an 𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 and experimental online parallel event for the conference ITCS25, aimed at everyone who cannot attend the conference in person for whatever reasons. (1/2)
