Do people behave differently at GRCs because everyone is together all week?

First time attending a GRC. Since everyone is staying, eating, and socializing in the same place all week, does the vibe get more informal or intense than a regular conference? Also, with shared rooms and such a small group, can things get awkward quickly? Curious about the real social dynamic and any first-timer advice.

Do people hook up at Gordon conferences as they are more intimate?

First time attending a Gordon Conference. Since they’re smaller and more intimate, I’m curious—do people ever date or hook up there, or is it mostly just professional networking? Just trying to get a sense of the social vibe before going.
