I feel for you being taken away from your new daughter at this early stage. I did some work travelling when my kids were young and it was tough. Your dedication to Steemfest is admirable. Looks like it's going to be pretty full-on. People should realise that it's not just about the talks. You can see those on-line, but then you miss out on all the socialising. You see a different side of people off-line and there will be conversations that just won't happen here. I know it's hard for some to get to Europe, but they can start their own local events. Steemfest is a state of mind, but it's also your brand ;)
