Sad personal lifetime record:

I had to get up so early for an event today that even the hotel's breakfast wasn't served

While the delegates reconvene for their sessions, we observe a curious ritual: The organiser discovered the dessert table, abandoned but plentiful. This is his moment. He approaches. After all, it's one of nature's most delicious compensations for those who orchestrate such gatherings.

Yes, they do.

Even in 'flawless' events.

You just don't notice them.

This is because the fix or improvisation was executed so well. There's no shame in it; it's just a sign that you have a good event organiser.

Stage is set, Poster Boards are up, drinks are served and the Check-in is ready to go. And we even have a sunny 22°C in Berlin!

Looking forward so much to welcoming everyone to the #7thECVM

Why does writing instructions or explanations of processes for strangers so often turn into an endless thought experiment of "What could possibly be misunderstood?"...😱

In today's episode of Fun at Work: We're making the first prototype of our upgraded "Check-in-Set" for conferences!🥳

The biggest improvement (besides the lovely color!): An upright scanner, meaning no more auto-turning of tickets on mobile phones!

True to the motto ‘resist the beginnings’, I will share this directly. After all, the principle can be applied to pretty much any project funding...
For the last three+ years I've been the research coordinator on a 5-year, $20-million NSF grant. We are on the cusp of submitting our final report, so I have some stats I can share. 2/

Who remembers the little badges that had to have the event logo, sponsors logos and first and last names on them? Preferably framed by ALL academic titles and the university?😂

Fortunately, (double-sided) A6 name tags offer plenty of space for clearly readable names...

Es wird immer furchtbarer: Ein prominenter US-Wissenschaftler verschwindet, samt seiner Frau. Niemand weiß, wo er ist. Seine Universität scheint miteinbezogen zu sein - sie lässt ihn von der Webseite verschwinden. Alle Medien sollten darüber berichten. X. Wang muss wieder auftauchen. #FindXWang
