The purpose of the article is to examine the dilemmas involved in attending academic online conferences and in particular the role of chat forums. The article describes three generations of the academic conference format: the traditional physical format, the hybrid twitter format and now the online conference chat format. The chat format creates, on the one hand, new opportunities for augmented participation during conference presentations, and, on the other hand, a risk of decoupling the conference's professional presentation. The article is based on a document- and communication analysis of the chat forum in connection with Networked Learning Conference 2020 and keynote Rikke Toft Nørgård's presentation. Through the presentation, 151 chat messages were communicated distributed among 34 participants. The chat forum as a communication environment and distribution of chat posts is examined in the article on the basis of theory of research communication (Luhmann 2000) and communication modes (Sandvik 2018). The research project intends to make visible the participants' different forms of participation in relation to five forms of participation: composition, collaboration, participation, content curation and co-creation. The article concludes with the formulation of some guidelines on how to deal with the dilemma-filled forms of participation in online conferences.
