I managed a couple of sessions but the time difference made it challenging. It was a great idea, though I think it was slightly chaotic! Maybe the next one will be smoother!
What time did you go there? I think people were having a hard time joining the booths. My expo booth said it was up and running, but on the lobby page the booth still read as closed. I talked with a couple of people on the tech side to try and sort it out. Hopefully we can all learn from this experience and serve up a better product next time!
I was there around 4-6pm Central European Time, Walter. It was great to hear Tony Stubblebine and Adrienne Gibbs' intros and chat with some pub editors in a speed session so I'd definitely go again! Of course an event that scale is tricky to manage. I would have liked to have visited your booth, too!
I had a busy day yesterday so I was only able to spare 2 hours. It's pretty difficult to organize when the audience is drawn in from the whole world! I'm glad they have the ambition to do these events. Tony came by my booth so it was nice to be able to chat with him. Hopefully we can synch up our schedules on the next one!
Great, Walter! I saw that June from Bitchy (a former student of mine) will also have a virtual booth. Great!
I'll definitely log in and say hello. I think it's a nice reward for pub editors and nommers and reinforces the power of publications on Medium. I think it's great that the company is investing more in its pub owners. Too many have left Medium....
Calling all Medium writers - virtually meet Walter and man more awesome writers on March 19th from 10-12 CST!
I'm looking forward to it! My understanding is that it will essentially be a group chat on Zoom, so if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer!

I missed it.
I think they had some issues on the platform, I was there, but it didn't seem like the links worked as advertised. Thanks for thinking of it anyway!
