In terms of “getting rid of the conference system”, I would suggest what I see in maths, which is split into two types of talks:
* talks about already peer reviewers conference papers.
* talks about active research. Here you only submit an extended abstract, and you don’t get to “claim credit” for giving the talk. People tend to only talk about things where they genuinely want to hear feedback, maybe even new collaborators.
