abstract = "The Electroceramics XVII conference, held August 24–28, 2020, was the first fully online conference in the biannual Electroceramics conference series. This communication provides a summary of the experiences gathered during the organization and execution of the meeting. Besides discussing the various pros and cons, we also aim to provide basic guidelines for scientific online conferencing, which will hopefully encourage individual readers to consider virtual meetings as an alternative or a supplement to in-person events, even after the COVID-19 pandemic.",
