🇺🇦 Anna FilinaI've been going to conferences for 20 years. Not one person I've spoken to enjoyed the loud music during socials. In fact, almost everyone tells me that they'd rather have no music at all. They just want to have conversations with other people.
Johannes Bechberger@afilina oh yes, but limited to that. I find that far too many speaker dinners happen in loud locations, with speakers leaving far earlier than they want because it's just unbearably loud.
@afilina at a certain recent conference, speakers where going to the toilet to quiet down and set alarms to get out of the venue. The noise level reached over 90dB during the dinner, which is sad, because I want to have great conversations with the amazing people on my table
