Nicely written. Since I´m just a mere content creator and curator here, with almost non-existent knowledge of the "techy stuff", I definitely prefer the informal, relaxed and family-like vibes of the HiveBeeCon to the more formal and tech-oriented HiveFest. In fact, when I came to Krakow back in 2018, to the official HiveFest, I came just for the after party that was kind of similar to what we just had in KBK :) But that´s just me. It´s important, of course, that our devs, coders, witnesses and other "big brains" meet up too to talk about things that us, ordinary users, don´t understand :) So like I already told GTG, I think there is enough room for both events - HiveFest and HiveBeeCon - and it would be really cool to see them both hosted (and attended massively) every year :)

I couldn't agree more with you! There is space for both, I'm sure! Maybe in a different part of the year, just to not kill our wallets... 😃
My idea about attending HiveFest in Amsterdam was the same as yours, to do as much networking as possible around the event... I had a problem in that my accommodation wasn't in Amsterdam and I had to catch the last train, so I missed some of those "parties"... That's why I didn't make the same mistake with Krakow and HiveBeeCon... Reserved accommodation close to the meeting point and had many small meetups BEFORE and AFTER the "event"! That's why, for me, this was a perfect meetup!
See you at the next one! :)
PS. Was your baby born or you are still in the "waiting line"? 😃
Glad that you learned from your Amsterdam experience and could thus enjoy the Krakow meet up to the fullest :) It was a blast indeed. Btw sleeping in the Kingdom was nothing short of an actual royal experience :)
Still waiting. Just like @evelychacin. She said that our babies agreed to be born on the same day, will see if that really happens :)
