Hivefest first conference day

Steve Clark@steevc (81)1473d

Having been to previous events I knew Hivefest would be intense. It has been a long day of presentations, discussions and fun.

Steve

As I paid a little extra for my ticket I am listed as a sponsor.

Dress to impress

Some people have a t-shirt for their project, but @brittandjosie had a whole outfit. Unfortunately there is no event shirt for attendees this time, but we got some other goodies.

Venue

We caught to metro to the main station and then took a ferry to get to the Eye which has some cinemas. We were in one of those for the talks.

Socialising

Between presentation sessions we could chat whilst enjoying some refreshments. It is a cool building. The were big windows so we could see all the passing canal traffic. They have big ships carrying goods around.

Presentation

We had a real variety of presentations. @zirochka talked about her experiences in Ukraine during the invasion. This was obviously very emotional for her and I think everyone was touched by this. Hive is really helping people there. We also heard about marketing projects, blockchain development, beer, soup (!) and more. I recommend looking up the videos which should be available soon if you missed the live feed.

Boat

Then we boarded a couple of boats for a tour of the canals. It is a pretty city with lots of interesting buildings and boats. There are lots of people living on the water. The weather was really variable with heavy rain at times.

Petanque

We docked near a bar where we played petanque (some call it boule). This was quite competitive. There was beer, food and more chatting. I talked to people I would never met otherwise and learnt a lot.

Windmill

I walked back to the hotel with @livinguktaiwan, trying to avoid being run down by the many cyclists. This windmill is right by the bar. It seems out of place in town, but maybe it used to be in open countryside.

I am hoping to sleep better tonight so I can last another day like this.

    Hey @steevc, here is a little bit of BEER from @svanbo for you. Enjoy it!

    Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

  • @svanbo(72)· 1469d

    Petanque in a bar... I've never seen something like this. It works better after a couple of !BEER 's?

  • @bozz(83)· 1471d

    Wow, that looks awesome. It seems that the organizers really do a lot to ensure that everyone has a great time!

  • @adetorrent(78)· 1472d

    Sounds like a good kick off. I can see there are fewer numbers than Krakow, and even Bangkok, but I'm sure it means you get the chance to speak to most people.

  • @stav(67)· 1472d

    Amsterdam is such as fantastic city. You’re not too far from where I used to work, I was on the other side of the river to the east.

    The bar at the Hotel American is worth a visit if you get a chance. The photos of all those who have visited are pretty cool. Elbow were there last time I stayed.

  • @zafar82(57)· 1472d

    what a great presentation and you participated there, it would be nice if I could attend it

  • @alex-rourke(74)· 1472d

    I heard you got chased away by the police on day 2 for illegal busking

  • @tdctunes(69)· 1472d

    Important discovery from #hivefest. @steevc is really quite tall! Even though I'd seen lots of pictures of him and lots of videos this was a total surprise to me!

  • @karinxxl(76)· 1472d

    What a day it was indeed. So many impressions and I am trying to find motivation to get out of bed currently haha.

    Ps the windmill is the current place of legendary brewery 'Brouwerij t IJ'

  • @bhoa(68)· 1472d

    This feels interesting already...

    I think I have to set a goal for next year and that will be to go to the next hive fest

    Dear like all the events related to Hivr, I consider that Hivefest is very important for everyone, especially for those of us who have several years, trying to make our publications better and well recommended. I hope that with the joy you show by being in this event, it will be very productive for you. I wish you many successes xesteemed @steevc , from Venezuela

  • @mrprofessor(73)· 1473d

    I walked back to the hotel with @livinguktaiwan, trying to avoid being run down by the many cyclists.

    xDD same experience for me when I first went there we just hear the 'ring ring' behind us all-the-time
