Is your idea applying to a specific event categorisation? Online; small-massive

Describe the practice you'd like to see implemented or have already seen on events A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
NAME: Enabling parallel discussions WHAT: During in-person events, people naturally create groups to talk about their topics of interest. It is very difficult to transfer this experience to online meeting. Fortunately, tools like Zoom allow the event organizer to create different rooms as part of the one virtual event. Thanks to that attendees are able to interact with each other and build new relationships. BENEFICIARIES: attendees TODO: The organizer creates different thematic rooms as part of the main conference meeting. The attendees can leave the main conference room and join the thematic rooms to discuss with like-minded people topic that they are interested in. TOOLS: Zoom allows organizers to easily create and manage more virtual rooms as part of one conference meeting. Other tools might allow that as well. RESPONSIBILITIES: the event organizing team

Where and when have you seen it being implemented (if applicable) A date and event name, ideally with one or more links (event website, social media mentions of the practice, etc).

Hey @lucieva Thanks for your Issue submission! Now find people to give this practice a thumbs up/👍. As soon as we have a reasonable (>5 for now) number of "thumbs up"/👍 the practice gets promoted from IN_TESTING to become an ACCESSIBILITY_GUIDANCE. <3
