My honest take on the conference y-day (we can only improve with good feedback) - I hope no one is offended or sour about this. Just trying to analyse and give my feedback.
- First of all: very well organized (congratulated the org. on that!) For real, it was smooth and well done. Except for small nitpicks you can always make anywhere.
- as a speaker; I would have loved to have a clear tablet or screen in front of me as well (timing wise, I had no Idea I had time left)
- acoustics in that beautiful place were horrible unfortunately
- Some people on stage had not much to say from a real content standpoint.
Maybe related to that : the main stage audience room was never filled for the actual talks, ... which is rather strange on a noderunners conference imho. Some talks hade like 20 or less people listening ... that's strange (maybe b/c the content? I don't know). Or maybe ppl don't come to a conference to hear someone talk? Then why not just go to a bar with your friends?
- It was hard to get a non-coffee drink, as the LN taps prevented me from just buying a water/cola. It's downright stupid to push LN-drink taps while you just want to grab a drink without having to jump through hoops (I know it's for demonstrating LNpayments, but it's not 2020 anymore, people just want to be able to buy a drink, we know that we can scan a QR code by now, we really know that such things exists! Doing this for + 6 years now, stop pushing it). I personally don't like to order a drink like that, neither with fiat, or LN or whatever. I was thirsty and was glad to find a real bottle of water somewhere.
- Not that much of a crowd unfortunately... when the corporate marketing teams and the fluffy stuff is not present, then it seems a lot of the audience stays away as well? Don't know the reason.
- The Arnhem foodhall is cool, would actually spend my day there, rather than a conference
- I'm sick about hearing about the coldcard hack in general now.
- Nice to see a lot of people again.
