Here in Uruguay institute in the cOnference people in the institute were
introducing each other as friends.
Because conferences are for meeting friends.
It is just «povod».

p.s.
I thought, that in Ballearic Islands people like to eat sweat things, but it was a mistake.
Here, in Montevideo people used to eat a lot of dulce de leche.
Mansana con dulce de leche
Chocolate de dulce de leche
Todos con dulce de leche
