I also need to look into masks for FOSDEM.

I am used to wearing masks when I travel, when I don't really need to talk with anyone. So a muffled voice doesn't matter too much.

Any recommendations from personal experience for good masks for when one expects to do a lot of talking with other attendees close-up (as opposed to being a speaker on a stage) would be welcome!

Regular conference goers must have this sorted!

@neilNeil Brown I like the Uvex flat foldable FFP3 with exhaust valve. But pricey, but far better and more convenient than anything else I never tried.

And yeah, I will largely mask up during #FOSDEM, myself.
