Jokes for Conferences – Part 1
Keep Your Technology, Finance and Medical Events Focused with These Jokes
When it comes to events, it can be challenging to keep the audience’s attention focused on the speaker. That’s where jokes come in handy!
A well-timed humorous statement or even a cheesy dad joke can help break up the monotony and keep everyone engaged. Whether everyone laughs or not, it signals to everyone that it’s not all serious and they can lighten up.
Our latest two-part blog series is here to help you out. We list some of the best jokes for conferences or any kind of event your industry might be hosting. Today we focus on humour for the technology, finance and medical industry and what kind of events they could be told at.
Technology Industry
The technology industry hosts a wide variety of events. This includes but is not limited to conferences, product launches, training, and exhibitions or trade shows.
At Focus Rooms we have exponential experience in both hosting these events and the success of including humour in the various presentations. Here are some of our favourite jokes:
- I don’t trust people who use graph paper. They’re always plotting something.
- Why did the programmer go broke? He used up all his cache!
- Yesterday I decided to change my WiFi name to “Hack me if you can”. When I woke up this morning I saw the name changed to “Challenge accepted”, I am so relieved that I am in a room full of people that might be able to help me.
- I tried to explain to a client why I couldn’t help him with a project that was written in a program code that I didn’t know. “Let’s say you’re asking me to write something in a specific language. Now, I’m fluent in English and Spanish, but your project is in Chinese. Since I don’t understand Chinese, I’m not your best option. You need someone fluent in this specific language. See?” He said he did and thanked me. The next morning, I got a call from another developer asking, “Why is your client asking us if we’re fluent in Chinese?”
- Whoever said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results has obviously never had to reboot a computer.
- Why are iPhone chargers not called Apple Juice?!
