If the workshops are professional workshops, the American response seems more natural and appropriate.
Honestly, I would be weirded out if people start rambling about their kids and hobbies at a tech conference.
- Swizec 4y agoThey were professional workshops. Your employer and your kids are equally irrelevant to the conversation.
- cscurmudgeon 4y agoI disagree. Not equally irrelevant. Your employer is connected to your profession, your hobbies/kids are not. I attend a ton of AI/ML conferences (which count as professional conferences) all over the world. On almost all badges and tags, under your name you have your affiliation (company or university). You don't have number of kids or your random hobby on your badge for a reason.
