This ‘bingo’ chart will strike a chord with anyone who’s been to a conference
You’ve sat through most of these before and you’re going to sit through most of these again and there’s nothing any of us can do about it.
Every conference programme needs one of these! #ESSHC2018 pic.twitter.com/qOOXrPfUts

The horror.
If you score a full card in one session, do they apologise to you at the conference desk?

Yes. Then you get an extra lanyard, a stale danish and some lukewarm coffee to make the experience complete.

The ‘bingo’ chart was included in the programme at the European social science history conference where this also happened.
My Swedish colleague forgot to translate this last slide. In Swedish, “slut” means “the end” but the bemused audience did not seem to know that #ESSHC2018 pic.twitter.com/x1Q6Lp9z2f

They obviously forgot to include that on the chart.
