Any general questions like catering for virtual attendees can be raised at the talk page for the 2020 LGBT+ conference.[1] The conference is at the proposal stage with funding yet to be agreed with the WMF. The proposers will be happy to receive feedback and respond to questions.
If no previous conference within our wider Wikimedia movement has used carbon offset projects to benefit its green footprint, that's an interesting fact to confirm as this may well be a great opportunity to try this out.

This has nothing to do with how green WMF operations might be. It has to do with the greener choices /we/ as volunteers can make for /our/ conferences.
Since a fortnight ago you were haranguing* the WMF for using too much air travel and lacking "any actual measurable commitment to picking up a telephone, holding a video conference, or holding a VR conference session", it will be interesting to see what solutions you can come up with for this conference you're organising. Did you consider the options other than an in-person conference that you recommended the WMF adopt, out of interest?
