Hey @shaidon thank you for stopping by and reading :) Oh you know each participant had a name tag and on the tag there was this code that could be scanned with phone and registered on Steemfest app that you have met the person and talked to them while at Steemfest, it really was to help the engagement and to make people talk with as many people as possible. Like a little push to socialize which was really brilliant in my opinion. They started it I think the previous year in Krakow, but this time they added in 2 minute rule, that you have to wait at least 2 minutes (to talk with people instead of just scanning them and leaving) and then they could move on to next one, so it worked really great :)
It was lovely, a little more intimate this year since there were less participants due to costs and bear market, more conversational. It is harder to talk to 300 people vs 100ish

Sounds like a really cool idea.
