First of all I want to thank @roelandp and all the team behind SteemFest for allowing us all to have this great experience and for the good work done in the organization of it, really surpassed all my expectations. Stemest 2 will have it very hard to maintain the level.

It is almost impossible to describe everything lived, the amount of interesting talks and so much laughter shared these days. I personally did not shoot many photos, my idea was to try to discover the human side of Steemit and I invested my time in having at least a little chat with everyone. I feel a little bad that I could not make it, 3 days were very little time.

Interesting talks were held inside and outside the hotel in the middle of the smoke.

@felixxx @fabio @mammasitta @kevingwong @l0k1 @hilarski @anahilarski @ballinconscious @pollux.one @shla-rafia @rea @kooshikoo @richardcrill and many others (Oh my head !, how bad I am to remember names... or maybe was Amsterdam ;) ), thanks for all the conversations we had .

The presentations were very good, personally I chose more for the "technical" presentations. They were all very interesting and instructive, I definitely learned many new things.

But besides the presentations, it was great to talk to other Steemians in the breaks, the same in a hallway, outside smoking or drinking coffee in the basement.

The themes were very diverse, from technical things like the blockchain and its uses or the new updates of Steemit, as well as life, philosophy, conspiracy theories, where we come from and where we are going and much, much more.

Something that was liked by all was the SnapCube. Very good and crazy pictures were taken :)

The party on Saturday night started at the convention center and continued on the last floor of the VolksHotel. Amazing disco with one of the best views in Amsterdam. By the way the music was very good. It was a pleasure to share the dancefloor with @sneak, @beers, @logic, @robrigo, @gargon, @beanz @opheliafu @ezzy and many others Steemians.

Sunday was the day of make tourism and we went several people to eat at a place that @nomadnessie recommended us as she had lived in Amsterdam a few years ago. We were @nomadnessie @heiditravels, @gargon, @lafona, two more (I hope they will remember me their name in the comments if they read this, please) and me. Well, very good what we ate, yes sir! From there we went to play at the Arcade Center where started to arrive all the other Steemians. At 5:30 @gargon, @lafona and I were lucky that there was free space on the tour to the church tower and we could do it. Very interesting tour and beautiful view from the top of the tower.

The final Sunday dinner was a spectacle.

After 3 days together it seemed like a "family dinner". Steemit is definitely a big family. It was a pleasure to share the table with @onceuponatime @heiditravels @nomadnessie @felixxx and @blueorgy

I feel blessed to have received a gift from @everlove and @saramiller.

Many thanks girls, it's my favorite pullover. There is already a piece of @gardenofeden in Germany.

@wadepaterson thank you very much for the vodka :)

I want to thank my roommate @mark-waser for being a super roommate. I regret not being able to talk more with you about Artificial Intelligence.

Even my return trip was completely "SteemFest" style, together with me came in the train @felixxx and @lrock and we spent all the time chatting.

Back home a day after finishing the SteemFest I feel a little empty. There were so many experiences in those 3 days in Amsterdam, everything so intense. SteemFest showed me that in addition to being a social network on the internet, Steemit is also an incredible human network with untold potential

So Steem ON!

Pd: If you were part of one of the stories mentioned or seen in some of the photos, make a comment to add it in the post please. In Amsterdam it is very difficult to remember names ;) Why is it ???
