This is very common in standardization, unfortunately, where they also meet like 10 days in a row. I’ve also seen this in some conferences where they start/end on Sunday/Saturday. I’m not a fan of this (anymore).

Christian Timmerer @timmerer.com · Jul 30

True. We can go for a swim between lectures. Unfortunately I’m not there at the moment. Enjoy your stay/travel.
