ADC: Just took a look at the numbers from ESA earlier this month. For the three Data Help Desk presentations and Amber / Jeanette's sessions, we had 336 unique attendees (including us), with that spread out as 69 in @aebudden's Search, Discovery, Access talk, 125 in @jeanette & @aebudden's INS session, 43 in @aebudden's DMP session, 76 in the DHD Tues session, 42 in the DHD Wed session, and 24 in the DHD Thurs session. Most people (258 out of 336) only attended one session, but 47 out of 336 attended 2 sessions, 22 out of 336 attended 3 sessions, 4 out of 336 attended 4 sessions, 3 out of 336 attended 5 sessions, and then 2 out of 336 attended all six. Those numbers include us. Those highly engaged people (4, 5, or 6 sessions) were @aebudden, Craig Hood, Hank Stevens, M Duen, Ali Krtzon, Corinna Gries (EDI), Mark Ambrose, me, and Maddie Clarke. I'm not sure how that compares to other years since it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but at least we have some concrete numbers of how many folks we reached with our talks. This does not include the number of views on our presentations - I don't know how to gather that information, if the ESA platform is even recording it. Hopefully we won't have another fully virtual ESA again next year and the world gets back to normal, but at least if we have to, now we have a pretty good playbook on how to do it!
DHD: Hey everyone! Wanted to say again great job on making the best of a virtual ESA. For the three Data Help Desk presentations, we had 111 unique attendees (including us), with that spread out as 76 in the Tues session, 42 in the Wed session, and 24 in the Thurs session. Most people (86 out of 111) only attended one session, but 19 out of 111 attended 2 sessions, and then 6 out of 111 attended all three. Those 6 people were Abigail Blanchard, Cat Chapman (iDigBio), me, Jon Miller (ESA), Hap Garritt (PIE LTER), and Maddie Clark.

Put together some quick back of the envelope graphs from ESA Data Help Desk sessions and attendees, then add it to the blog as our post for September?
