The sessions I went to people I drank a beer or two with. I also had few work related meetings that went quite good (at least it seemed so at the time).

Two years ago, when the first J and beyond conference happened, a situation was electrifying – important members of the community were rebelling against the way that this organization was led, all sorts of initiatives were happening and events were on the verge of explosion. Before the event many expected this will be a gathering of frustrated and angry, a place where officials get crucified and people walk around with knives behind the belt. Something of that kind. But the event turned out as a huge success, everyone was friendly and happy. Knowledge, innovation and fun was flying around in huge quantities, something I've never seen before. Real community happened. Sessions were really eye opening, we learned a huge lot and parties were hard.
