The Attendee Journey:
A Festival of Experiences for a Discerning Audience

From a refreshing 5K run along the waterfront to a visually captivating mural started during the welcome reception, the event offered a variety of engaging activities. The mural, created by Pretty Done, adorned the hallway outside the Community Hub, becoming a lively focal point. The highlight was the main stage, featuring the Live Build Challenge where developers showcased their skills in a dynamic hackathon.

Community Hub

The Community Hub buzzed with activity, offering retro arcade games, interactive installations, and engaging networking opportunities. A dynamically designed sponsored stage became the backdrop for DJ Ohmega Watts as he set the vibe during the welcome reception. The Appian Booth stood out with its tall mirrored tower with LED neon lights. The booth hosted arcade games, a claw machine, LBC arcade-style mini challenges, demos, and a feedback wall.

Breakouts

The Silent Headphone breakouts were a standout feature, transforming traditional conference sessions into a unique, multi-sensory experience. With color-coordinated headphones, attendees could choose from different stages, making learning interactive and engaging.
