Does anyone hook up at conferences anymore or is that a thing of the past?

It happens, but it's definitely not being advertised.

Key advice: Don't take advantage of someone who has been drinking or get into a situation where it SEEMS like you might be taking advantage. What may seem as comprehensive actions may be a lost memory and trauma for another person.

In my experience, the ones that stay out the latest or go to the bars after are usually the ones hooking up at conferences. Could be bad for business (or great, I guess lol). Personally, I’ve always been hesitant to engage at a conference, especially when colleagues are nearby. What conference are you at? 👀😂

It’s 2025. People don’t do they anymore, but we lament the Mad Men era when it happened and when it was hot.

No, it’s just business. It’s still a professional environment. I’m quite certain it happens a lot.
