Day 1 of Hivefest started off at this lovely building the Eye Filmmuseum
It's a short (and free) ferry ride from the Central Station done in typical Dutch style with many cyclists.
It was great to get to the venue and finally meet everyone. Many old faces from Bangkok, some new faces to old names I've seen on the chain, and some new names. The beauty of real life meetup!
I was so overwhelmed with meeting everyone that I didn't take many photos. Here are a few .. with @blind-spot
@zirochka and her on stage presenting with @arcange
And with @delishtreats and @sjarvie5.

And luckily we managed to grab the TeamUK gang to take a photo. Here's the image credit to @elmerlin.

Me, @s0u1, @starkerz, @elmerlin
Let's take a look at this year's goodie bag. The official bag is red this year with the white logo. Simple and clear. We also got a second one from Ecency.
Inside we got the first paper edition of the HiQ Magazine from @hiq.magazine. I had a quick glance at it last night, it's really professionally done and has loads of interesting chain content. I'm going to read it on the plane back. Next is a T-shirt from @liketu, and there's a phone holder. That's the round thing you stick to the back of your mobile phone. I also got a casino chip from elmerlin with a QR code that takes me to the Liketu mobile app. Need to check that out later. Then there's an official Hive water bottle. Good choice of merch!
And finally there's a bunch of stickers and flyers. @coldbeetrootsoup and @mogaland are two projects that I haven't heard of before, need to check them out (so many things to check out after Hivefest).
And there's also something from Pinmapple. We have done a treasure hunt on Hive. If you watched my presentation this morning about OCD, I have talked about it. There's 1000 HP hiden in a Hive account and you needed to find the key to access the wallet to do it...
After the conference finished for the day, we went on a canal boat ride. It's the typical touristy thing that you don't normally do because you think you're too cool, but it's actually great fun once you do it!!
The boat ride took us to the evening venue to where we played mooie boules. Before we went inside, I snapped photos of the windmill, bang in the centre of city, how cool. Quite a few others were taking pictures, but the few local Hivians didn't bat an eyelid 😆
The venue was really cool. We had the whole upstairs to ourselves with our own area to play the game. It's an easy game to learn but a little tricky to master, and the best team, team Peakd, won in the end, the prize was our very own Hive blockchain coffee from @c0ff33a.
That's so far on my first day at Hive Fest. Day two (today) will follow, and I have made sure I got more pictures.
I am sad that I am missing this year. Just watched your presentation for OCD. Great job. Have fun.
Thanks deranged!! It's a pity you couldn't make it this year. The numbers are smaller this year but the vibe is just as great, and it's easier to make sure we meet everyone
Exciting! Nice to meet up with all these friends, seeing some familiar faces... And you even got blue sky there.😃
Look forward to more updates including the Pinmapple ones!
The blue sky was a bit random so I felt very much at home here 😂
Wish you were here so I could meet you, hope you're having a great time in Italy!
oh my goodness what a great event. I would like to be there and buy hive and liketu's products. It was a very colorful and big event. Thanks to everyone who contributed.
Liketu goodies very certainly great and practical!
And you don't have to be here to buy Hive! Just do it from your wallet!
I watched the replay and it's nice to see the faces of some names I am familiar with on this chain 😊
Looking forward to seeing the real party.. Haha..I heard there is.. @blind-spot made it too. Nice to see that he's doing fine
Some of the guys are having a great party already but I'm too old for that. Certainly great to see so many people in real life
True.. Especially those we interact with online..

Great summary of Day 1 and amazing photos, @livinguktaiwan! I was so happy to reconnect with you three years after Bangkok! :D
Thank you for your presentation of @ocd – it was especially relevant to @n2foodadventure as a new account on Hive, but even I learned a few new and interestin things (like @poshtoken, for example). I decided that I will try to twit more often with links to interesting posts on Hive.
It was great to see you again Oleg, and it's great that you Angela and Joy came with you. I'm sure they're in your good hands and will do well, but if they need ani newbie tips, they can also take a look at this post and @newbies-guide

@apshamilton does not looks like so :) quite the guy for the revolution. And I always thought @slobberchops must be a young man exploring all the urban architectures :) Loved the presentation from @brianoflondon - v4v is certainly a great addition.
It's really interesting to see people in real life and how they turn out different from the image we had in mind. It's so much fun!
Paulina and your said you're not a photographer, these are great pictures! Great recap too! And we finally met in person 😃
Finally Sara! I had a lovely time at dinner last night with you girls!

Wow! This is a great event, just wish I could be a part of it some day. Thanks for bringing the festival to us who cannot afford to be physically present.
I'm sure you'll grow with time, I started with nothing here, and over the years the platform has funded my trip this year, so just keep going!
Thanks a lot
If we who stayed at home are hyped seeing the live streaming sessions and these hive fest posts and photos, I just suppose how hyped all of you are being there together! 🤩🤩🤩
