This year’s DGZfP annual meeting was held for the first time as a hybrid event. More than 250 participants were digitally connected. The speakers had the choice of participating virtually or presenting in the conference hotel in Potsdam with professional image and sound technology. Dr. Wolfram Deutsch took the opportunity to see his colleagues in person and traveled to Potsdam. Of course, strict hygiene measures were observed and all participants were tested before the event. There was the opportunity to meet the board of the DGZfP and to get to know the new designated DGZfP managing director Dr.-Ing. Thomas Wenzel. The event was again perfectly organized by the DGZfP team around Steffi Dehlau. The good weather with 30 degrees and the evening beer on the shore of Lake Templin gave the impression of long-awaited normality!
