What a @HiveFest Experience - Thank you to all organisers and participants, you are all invited to the Hive Meetup in Vienna! 😎

The last days at @hivefest where awesome! Here you can see my #hivefest experience report.

After arriving in Amsterdam @bil.prag and me went to Damrak to get some dutch fries.

Then we checked out the center a bit and found my favourite green tea house. ;)

From there we walked back to the main station taking the metro to the Volkshotel.

The Volkshotel was a good place to stay. I liked the music downstairs... and the interior design. On Friday there was a big party going on there.

This was the view from my room in the morning.

It was very nice to see a lot of familiar faces and meet new hivians at the opening drinks. Here you can see some of the selfies I took.

Near the hotel was also a nice area to explore. I love the city views of Amsterdam. It always feels like to be in a movie scene.

On Friday I had a talk on the first conference day. The location was incredible unique and special. Thank you @roelandp for the slot. You can check it on youtube. Here are some pics before and after. ;)

@crimsonclad

@roealand and me before the talk.

@syrosa and me after the talk.

There was also a presentation of NFT's for peace with @zirochka and @arcange. It was the most important issue on that day! Please follow, vote and help this project in collaboration with @hivebuzz to bring peace and love to the Ukrainian hive communities.

@lordbutterfly presented also a little insight into the planned movie freechain, I am already looking forward to this one!

If you are interested in the other presentations of #hivefest DAY 1 just watch the livestream. It was all documented well.

After the talks was a boat tour to the center and we played a boccia tournament in a pub. It was a lot of fun!

On the second conference day we met in a church in the center. It was also a unique location. In the middle of the day we let the bell ring songs you could vote.

@arcange

@livinguktaiwan

We networked outside inside, listened to the talks and ate good as well as healthy food.

@zirochka deserves your support for peace in Ukraine!

At night there was then the #beersaturday and poker tournament planned. I went to the last and luckily won... my first #hivefest tournament ever. I will not play again @hivefest, don't worry! :D

It was a four hour psycho fight. I was wearing sun glasses all day long to irritate them. It worked I guess...

Went to Bulldog with @solymi after poker through the city center.

On Sunday we chilled all and did some DIY city tours. I walked to the shopping center, the Amstel Hotel and had Gouda as well as Amstel beer next to the main river.

After my little exploration I went back to the hotel said goodbye to all I saw. Unfortunately I couldn't participate to the closing dinner then, because I had to catch the night train to see my @globalschool students on Monday again. So I had to be back in Vienna to start the working week with enough time to switch focus.

While I am writing this post @schmidi is here with me at Edison working while the interns collaborate on our other projects: @winalab, graphics and websites we are creating with the talent management agency.

Thank you for all your attention and support here, I am really appreciating to be part of the global hive community with you all! See you at the next #HiveMeetupVienna 6.10 or at another city #meetup near Austria.

All the best,
Christoph
