How useful do you find these congresses? Do you learn anything new?

Yes, there are always some new things
Why don't they open the windows

Usually, windows are opened during breaks, but when there is, for example, a 1.5-hour session after a break with a room full of people, the room becomes "sleepy".

a scientific congress, i.e. sitting in a large darkened room with (sometimes) hundreds of other participants and listening to lectures.

I think that's what's meant by a conference over here. Thankfully, I only have to attend them twice yearly.

you cannot control drowsiness.

That's been my problem attending them. Usually because I find them quite boring, although this year we did have one absolutely riveting guest speaker which turned out to be the highlight of the day.

Fortunately, such people also happen. Returning to clothes, the vast majority of my colleagues wear suits and, just to be clear, no one wears sneakers with suits (which has been fashionable recently), and neither do I.

German women love Birkenstock shoes, the most 'unfeminine' shoes in the entire world. Why? πŸ€”

@Alien, because Birkenstock shoes are comfortable and Germans like walking and hiking? πŸ€”

And that they "like" it is probably an understatement lol:



"@thegravellesstraveled2320
I was a US soldier stationed in Garmisch Germany and I would hike up the mountains on my off days. One day I took a friend who was new to the base. We got about half way up and he crapped out. As he was sitting on the side of the trail trying to recover an elderly German women passed us and asked him his age. He said 22. She laughed and said she was 78 and kept on laughing until she was out of sight 🀣

As a german I can confirm that 19 km are the warm-up."
