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
and much more. You can see these on the
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 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...
