Hivefest in Split is a meeting of minds
I got to Split fairly late last night. My hotel provided a car to pick me up from the airport, so that was easy. Split City Rooms is near the old centre that is a maze of alleys. The hotel is unusual as it is mostly underground, but it is nice enough as a place to sleep. The bar for the introductory meeting was a short walk away and I found lots of folk still there.
The venue today was a big tent in front of a sculpture museum with views of the sea. It is lovely, but it was just so hot in the tent and a lot of people sat outside under the trees.
We had lots of presentations including @worldmappin @liotes @waivio @leofinance @skatehive and much more. You can see these on the @hivefest feeds. The advantage of being here is that you talk to these people in person.
I have met a lot of attendees before, but others are at their first event. There was plenty of food and drink with vegan options. The organisers led by @lordbutterfly really look after us.
We had a little time before the buses to the evening meal, so some of us walked down to the beach. It was pretty busy. I dipped my feet in, but was not equipped for swimming.
Dinner was at a place across the peninsula with great views. There are about 100 people here. The food was great with vegetarian and fish options for the non-meat eaters.
We also had musical entertainment from several acts. I did not get all their names. As i am posting from the Ecency mobile app or is tricky to look up everyone. I may do that when I get home. One was Violetta Zironi who gave out guitar picks that you can scan to get an NFT. I had to have one for my pick collection.
I walked back to the hotel after a great day. Tomorrow's venue should be cooler as it is in the cellar of a palace.
Stay tuned...
Wow! You are there and meeting all in person, this is really great... hope tomorrow will be a great day too 😄
Congratulations, your post has been added to WorldMapPin! 🎉
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
I saw a bit here and there of the live stream. Glad you are enjoying!
It's fun. There are people here who hardly post, but they come for the social event. I've learnt about projects I wasn't aware of and others have cool new stuff.
I like hearing that. Hive is a club I think we will always belong to regardless of posting. Toperoo!
Sounds really nice so far and the hotel does sound unique. Never been to Split and it’s on the list for a visit someday.
The people are great and I'll explore the city when I have time.
Looks like you are having an awesome time. I don't know if I would be able to handle the heat. I tend to sweat a lot!
It was too much for some. The weather is likely to change.
I probably would have got sick to my stomach if it was too hot.
I enjoyed watching the live streem and appreciate your behind the scenes report!
Sending you an Ecency curation vote
Cheers. I hope you can get to an event some time. I don't think Ecency are here
Wonderful. I think I am going to move to Croatia. It’s beautiful.
What I've seen is nice. The people are great too.
I saw you in the live stream, enjoy the time. Hopefully, it will be in India some times where we can join.
It just takes someone to organise an event. It's all community driven. I've not been to India, so it could be an opportunity for us to meet.
Up Hive!
From the view of this you just made feel am right there with your words, i can see you really did and still enjoying yourself, this reminded me of seminars. The organizers really did a great job with the hivefest everything looks well arranged
Woah, that's a lot of people in there! So jealous for not being one of them this year :(
This is so awesome man! I really hope I can join next year!!:) Have fun :)
