yeah oh god yeah well first off I didn't know I was sick uh like for the first three days I thought I was like I'm just tired I'm just like overwhelmed
market this year and like that's why it felt like there was just so much happening and I definitely was like I don't know what to do especially because like I think it was the first day that they are the first time that they're trying out this market thing and like a lot went wrong like the day before and then the day of like getting passes and stuff until they figured out that like you can use the app and I think they weren't expecting as many people to want to go to like the conference bits as as people wanted to so like I was showing up and like not the first day I didn't get into like any of the conference things I wanted to but I also didn't really like understand like how early early to show up and so uh yeah so that's how I found that at least at first
Yeah, it was definitely quite overwhelming to walk into that room and think you're going to get your pass.
But like you walked onto that floor and it was just a huge, like a lineup for Disneyland.
But thankfully, like for me, the volunteers immediately helped me get it on the app.
but yeah in terms of the conference like getting into the sessions it seemed like a lot better to me this year because in previous years they held some of them in like a room where you could fit 12 people and like hundreds of people wanted to see those sessions like I remember they had a sun dance panel and it was like in a tiny room and there was hundreds of people that couldn't
Yeah, constant free coffee, which you definitely needed because you're just like running from like room to room to room.
So you're saying, was it usually not held in the conference center? Like, did you have to like run around? Was it like at a Sheraton or something before, I think? Yeah.
No, it was actually across the road in the CBC building, which was just a smaller place in general.
