Also, tickets this year weren’t that hard to get compared to previous years at CCH.

Highly recommended to check the ticket page every day because this happens quite often.
Not judging, just reporting: organizers this year have urged people to wear masks. The vast majority (I guess >90%) of current attendees don’t wear a mask as of now.
Congress-Seuche has been a thing since forever and it won’t stop this year.
Masks do little to nothing wrt exhalations, so it doesn’t matter much if others mask or not. If you want protection from a mask, wear your own well-fitting ffp2/n95 mask properly and don’t sweat what others do.

I miss being there. But it's increasingly difficult to get a ticket.
