- Abstract
Summary: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations used virtual platforms to host academic meetings. This includes the Canadian Network for International Surgery and the Centre for Global Surgery at the McGill University Health Centre, who were tasked with organizing the Bethune Round Table (BRT), held May 28–31, 2021. With 496 registrants and 300 attendees representing 50 countries, the BRT 2021 was the most trafficked BRT conference in its 20-year history. One month after the conference's conclusion, attendees were continuing to view the recorded sessions. Here we describe the successes of the virtual BRT 2021 conference and the plan to continue offering a digital mode of delivery for future BRT conferences.
