Casual exploration of Grandhotel Brno Area.

After breakfast, I started my day with a casual walk around the hotel area. Here are some photos from the walk.

Registration

After walking around for a while, I reached the conference venue at around 11am. I collected my conference badge, wrist tag and bag. Since nothing starts before 4pm, I headed back to the hotel, grabbing a kebab lunch on the way. The conference wrist tag could only be tightened in one direction and I could not take it off. Since I was not going to sleep with it for until the end of the conference, I cut it off. Fortunately, it ended without drama as I could get a new wrist tag.

Lunch! Kebabs were a little salty but good.

Welcome and Conference Talks

The talks started were just a warm up. Nothing really memorable except for this youtube maker sharing the importance of story. Here are some photos from the talks.

Scotty Allen shares his stories about making as a Youtuber. He made an iphone by just buying parts in Shenzhen.

Evening Walkabout and Dinner

After the talks, I felt I didn't want to stay for the party as food was not paid for. I just left to walk around a bit with Bart, and then settled down for a nice pasta dinner at the town square.
