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"? 😃
