If you haven't seen, I'd highly recommend checking out what we did for IEEE VR: https://blairmacintyre.me/2020/04/02/completely-online-ieee-...

and in particular some of the notes on poster sessions: https://blairmacintyre.me/2020/04/10/doing-a-poster-session-...

In practice, people consumed the keynote/talk content in a variety of formats (streamed, recorded, and in-VR) and there was a fantastic networking and meeting-new-people effect in the poster, hallway (post-talk), and demo sessions. There's a bunch of formal research that was done there along with post-conference surveys to track down specific data (e.g., how many new people did you meet?) but it will take some time for those teams to rigorously collect & report.
