Apart from the relevance, it's great to finally be able to add faces to the names you know and interact on a frequente basis on the blockchain. I went to Hivefest in Amsterdam in 2022, and made friends I still meet in real life nowadays. A lot could be said about passing the message outside our echo chamber, but Hivefest is definitely an awesome initiative! Hope I'll manage to go for a second time, let's see if the stars align next year.
